[CLOSED] IE7 page rendering problem?
I've recently noticed a problem in IE7 where sometimes the page doesn't fully render. Instead Internet Explorer seems to "hang" on loading the page (the progress bar stays on "Waiting"). The page stays white, but it's possible to right-click on the page and do "View Source". The page has actually downloaded successfully, but it's not rendered any of the content.
There is no consistency to this problem, and my guess is it's a timing issue - when viewing the site over a slow connection it seems to work fine, and render the pages. However viewing the site on the system that hosts it sometimes produces this problem, possibly because it downloads the pages a lot quicker.
This doesn't appear to be a page specific or machine specific issue as it's been tested across different machines and platforms (Win XP and Win 2003, IIS 5 and IIS 6). The problem has only been noticed when using IE7. IE6 and Firefox have been tested and this problem hasn't occurred.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so do you know what might be causing this?
Many thanks.
