Display problem IE6 (Win XP SP2) - Only some web pages!

[Guest]

2 problems:

1) When looking at www.o2.co.uk only SOME of the pages on the site do not
display normally. The centre of the pages are blank with information /
objects being displayed outside the normal screen area, and scroll bars
appear. Various errors also occur on some of these pages: unterminated string
constant, syntax error, object expected, amongst others.

Very irritating! Any suggestions?
I have already tried changing accessibilty settings and screen modes, text
size, etc.

2) Since installing XP SP2, the "Related" button which searches for similar
websites has gone from the IE6 toolbar, and is no longer listed in the
"Customize" options. This was a useful feature and other search tools for
similar functions don't seem to be as good. Has this feature been removed
deliberately? If so, why?

Hope somebody can shed some light. Thanks.

Try updating your video drivers.

For advice specific to problems with secure sites, have a look at the first

Start another discussion for a completely different topic.
Better yet do some research first and refer to what your results were.

Hint: part of your problem will be that Related is a generic word;
even the phrase "Related Links" is generic in many web pages;
so a necessary keyword for a clearer picture may be Alexa

1) When looking at www.o2.co.uk only SOME of the pages on the site do not

I can reproduce that symptom by setting security level High
(e.g. no Active Scripting allowed)

Various errors also occur on some of these pages: unterminated string
constant, syntax error, object expected, amongst others.

Very irritating! Any suggestions?

Do you have any other software active which might be interfering
with scripting at all?

If you ran Ad-Aware and allowed it to remove the Alexa Registry, that
removed the Related button too.
