Hi

I have some php pages showing some extremely strange behaviour in internet explorer 6.

They are all identical except for the some text and pictures, and use php script to run a drop down menu and feedback form.
If I refresh the page or follow a link to one of the other pages internet explorer scrambles the divs, seemingly at random, and differently every time.

The page renders correctly in IE7, 8 and firefox 3.

Frankly I've never heard of anything like this. Has anyone else?

"scrambles" is hard to imagine just what goes wrong.

Still, legacy IE browsers have a number of bugs that cause content to disappear seemingly at random.
Look for "guillotine bug" and/or "peek-a-boo bug", and check if they might be what you're seeing. Even if they can be quite persistent, there are known workarounds for those.
