IE Loads some of the content at the very bottom of the page

[Guest]

My problem is a kind of weird. When I try to browse some pages in our
intranet; the IE loads the page, however some content of the page stays at
the very bottom. You think as the header appears at the top, you can not see
the body. you need to scroll down. The weird part is, the same page appears
in other computers perfectly!!! Any idea?

thanks

Don

Check the versions of IE running on your and other computers. Make sure they
all have the latest updates.( In particular the version of mshtml.dll that
is installed)
Check also that you are not using a User Stylesheet on your computer
(Internet Options/General tab, Accessibility button)
Check also that the code that you use to decide which stylesheet to link to
the page is not ie version dependant and that all versions of IE on your
intranet are uptodate.

As a last resort (or in the first instance) change the float property of
your footer table (I assume you are using table blocks for Header, Body and
footer parts of your document) to Centre, separating each table with a <br>.

Here is a link I came across just this morning with some examples of the
annoyances/features of IE's styling engine.

My personal opinion is that everyone is missing the point. Forget
server-side styling... Let the user decide with their client-side User
Stylesheet property for Internet Explorer. All browsers render plain HTML
tags the same.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your answer. I solved the problem in a different way. In my
html code after the header section, there was a datagrid located throughout
the page. One of the properties for datagrid was as it is show below:

align="center"

and once I took this part away, the page is rendered properly in all
browsers in the intranet. That is a kind of weird, isn't it? Well, this IE:
can not do with it, can not do without it.

Thanks anyway. My colleques and I appreciate your help.
