Ok, this is weird and I'm not sure how to resolve it.
I am the creator of LogZilla (a syslog management/reporting tool).
One of my users has pointed out a bug that only exists in IE9. IE 8 and below has never worked properly so I can live with that. But IE9 should be working. FWIW, I am running IE10 and it works. But if I put it in IE9 mode it doesn't.
If you visit my demo server and do a search (just click the search button at the bottom of the page after logging in), you can see that the data is presented properly using Chrome and FF and IE10, but if you use IE9 it says there is no data to display.
I've also noticed that if you use a GET instead of a POST it works properly. The results page after a search has a small disk icon at the top right - if you click that you can get the full URL to paste as a GET.
I'm wondering if the problem is this which led me to this, but I have tried loading json2.js in the header and it doesn't fix anything (maybe I did it wrong?)
Edit: I also though Modernizr might help, but I have no clue how to implement it, and the download page is insanely confusing - which options do I need?
Edit: Based on #thatidiotguy's comment, I checked my source and it is actually using a GET, not a POST. So now I'm even more confused as to why pasting the url works when clicking the button from the main page doesn't?

I've created a new html page and all other links are opening fine except the one directing to this page. Clicking the link in Internet Explorer simply does nothing, but if I open the file directly it opens it. No problems in Chrome whatsover.
What's happening here?
<a class="m04" href="cariere.html"><strong>CARIERE</strong></a>
Thanks
EDIT I think the issue is with the page itself, what could make IE refuse to open a page?
EDIT2 OK, here's cariere.html:
`Content removed`
EDIT3 Problem solved, I did a rollback while saving the changes I made and now everything is navigating correctly. Still, very strange even for IE.
You're not getting errors, IE is opening other links, and it works fine in Chrome... First glance, this sounds like an issue with the way that IE cached your website. However, I can't elaborate on further possibilities because you didn't provide us with much information or any code to investigate, so basic troubleshooting is the best answer as of right now. I'll update it again if you provide more information.
Try this:
Tools(gear/cog)->Internet Options
Browsing history (general tab)->Delete
You'll want to check the Temporary Internet Files and website files,
Cookies and website data. Uncheck "Preserve Favorites website data."
Then click 'Delete' at the bottom.
Click the 'Security' tab and at the bottom click 'Default level'
Click the 'Privacy' tab and click 'Default'
Test it. If the above doesn't work, you can always click the 'Advanced' tab and click the 'Reset' button. I've seen IE do stranger things, so hopefully it's as simple as this.
As mentioned, you didn't provide us with much to work with. We're all happy to help you out, so if this doesn't work for you, please come back and post us more information/code so we can get this pinpointed. There are many things, code wise, that can cause undesired results, but we can't confirm that without seeing the code.
This has helped me out with various strange "IE bugs." I can't provide you with an explanation, but I'm sure a search could shine further light on this. It's at least worth trying considering how strange this bug is.

I ran into the problem before, and it's a very weird one: it works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but it's not stable in IE. Sometimes it works, but in most time it just won't work.
The problem is that a label tag is imbedded in the a tag, the link works only in the padding area between label tag and a tag. It can be easily fixed by change the lable tag into span tag.
From:
<label>Learn More</label>
To:
<span>Learn More</span>

I HTML validated it and it looks just the way I want it to in Firefox but in Chrome and Safari the #main div doesn't have the background color showing and the break tag with css set to clear both doesn't clear the way it does in Firefox.
I can't figure out what I did wrong considering it works fine in Firefox and it also HTML validates. Can anybody take a look at it?
Also, is this a coding error or a Web Host problem? I keep getting an old and new version of the Web page depending on if I do a simple refresh or a Ctrl+Shift+R refresh.
As mrtsherman and Nicole said, it was just the cache. Private browsing shows consistently.
you need a <div style='clear:both'></div> right before the #main closing tag. I shouldn't have anything to do with your browsers cache or web hosting.
I think it is probably a caching issue. The page seems to render fine to me. Here is quick tip. To take caching out of the picture, open up an incognito/private browsing instance. Then let us know what you see. I think this will resolve it. If this is the problem then you can version your CSS files by appending .css?version=1.1 for example. If you do this server side you can append a timestamp to do this automatically.
:)
To help out a bit more 1. You should provide the code you are working with. It is a major help in trying to figure out what is going wrong. And 2. the old and new version of the web site sounds to me like you need to clear your browser cache.
I've been trying to get CSS tooltips with iFrames working cross-browser, but Chrome has issues.
Here's a test page I put together: http://paulleduc.com/test.html
As you can see, it works as expected in FF and IE, with the tooltip popping up to the right of the word every time. In Chrome however, the tooltip pops up at the left of the screen most of the time, and only popping in the correct position when you hover over the words from 'left-to-right' it seems.
Any ideas to get this working in Chrome would be appreciated,
Thanks!
I don't know about the tooltip version you are using specifically. BUT, I use this one
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/popinfo.htm
and I have no problem with it working on chrome or FF, it has worked on every browser I have tested it on, it also comes with really good instructions.
And I am not sure if it is supposed to be this way, but when I hover over your links it just opens a small square and I can see the google homepage.
But seriously, the one that i posted above DHTML Tool Tips, works really well cross browser, let me know how it works out if you decide to use it.
Please make sure you are using the latest version of Chrome. I'm using Chrome 17.0.942.0 (Official Build 110446) dev-m and cannot reproduce the issue - the tooltips pop up immediately to the right of the links. However, their contents are empty due to the "Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options." error (which I believe is unrelated.)
I've been working on a revamp of the charity site I'm the webmaster for, heroinitiative.org. It is located here:
http://www.heroinitiative.org/revamp/default.html
(and no it's not live code, it sits alongside the live site just so I can show progress to my boss, it's not really important to keep it under wraps, which is why I can post it here)
My problem: For some reason all links in the footer (from id "bodyfooter" on down, including anything I put below the "Partners/Thanks" footer) have been disabled. I don't know why this is happening as I've thoroughly reviewed the code.
It happens in:
Firefox 3.6.8
Chrome 5.0.375.127 & 6.0.472.53 (just upgraded as I typed this)
but not in:
IE 8.0.7600.16385 (or in it's compatibility mode)
you have a z-index:-1 on #bodyfooter. main.css line 182
remove this or change it to 0.
Your page takes a long time to display in Safari on my Mac.
Whenever I have a page that does not render as I expect, I run it through the W3C Markup Validation Service.
Try fixing the errors displayed here:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heroinitiative.org%2Frevamp%2Fdefault.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
I'm currently finishing up testing a new Ruby on Rails app. Just recently, some of the pages do not seem to finish downloading in IE8. In FireFox, Chrome and Safari, everything works perfectly. The pages all validate successfully using the W3C validator.
When I view the page source in IE8, the page has been chopped off around 75% of the size it should be. IE8 claims the page is finished loading, and doesn't give any errors, but of course the page isn't rendering properly.
Has anyone seen this before? I'd really appreciate any help.
Have you tried to watch the http requests, using something like Http Analyzer or HttpWatch (like firebug for IE)? That might shed some light if there is a problem with a JS or CSS file not being found, or if the server is returning something other than a 200.
HttpWatch has a free version at http://www.httpwatch.com/download
IE8 Comes with a built in developer toolbar. Just press F12.
You should be able to diagnose most problems using it.
Also, open the page in Firefox with the Webdeveloper Toolbar addon and check if any javascript issues are arising. I find that sometimes you may only see the error in IE8 but you might only figure out what is wrong using Firefox. Give it a try!
There was a javascript call in the page that needed to be wrapped with:
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() { ... };
in order to work in IE. Apparently, it was disruptive enough to kill the entire page render. Thanks BenTheDesigner!
Since this is the first result on a Google search for IE8 not completing a page request, I thought I'd add on that I've seen the same symptoms caused by Sophos Anti Virus' Browser Helper Object which interferes with page requests and thus doesn't complete download requests every time.
Hitting F5 resolves the issue most of the time but a click to the next page can cause it to reappear. Other symptoms include odd page rendering of background images, incorrect repeating or no repeating being done at all despite a CSS declaration specifically telling a background to repeat. I spent a week debugging my CSS and XHTML only to eventually try disabling all the browser "Add-ons" and all of a sudden the issue went away.
I nailed it down to Sophos' BHO and now no rendering issues.
