Page loads strangely on PC IE

[kevinj]

I have just completed a site for a client and they are complaining about the way the page loads on a PC in Internet Explorer. If you view it you'll see as the page loads that the content area starts out to the right and then pops into place. This only happens on PC IE and I don't know if anything can be done to fix this. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as my client is fixated on this issue.

Thanks,
Kevin

Sounds like you might be a victim of FOUC--Flash Of Unstyled Content. This can generally be avoided if you add a

<script>

tag to your head section. You can read more about it here [bluerobot.com].

Boy, I'd never heard of that. I'm glad I do though so I know what might be the problem in the future. I figured out my problem was in a browser detect script to size a searchbox. The PC IE version needed a <br> tag removed while all the others didn't.

Thanks much for your help on this. Always good to learn about more potential cures for web ills.
