Thanks. I found the culprit. Odd thing is I've used it on a lot of pages without a problem but this page (and one other) acts up with it.
It's a third party js library I got from Dynamic Drive several years ago - jumptop.js Allows the user to jump to the top on a long page. The error is "Warning: an unbalanced tree was written using document.write()causing data from the network to be reparsed." I pinpointed the line but don't see the error. I've just taken the library out. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Strutz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 1:24 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: How CF works Larry, ColdFusion will not return something different to different browsers unless you explicitly tell it to do so. The most likely culprit here is bad HTML, Javascript and CSS. It sounds like an unclosed (or unopened) table tag, a missing quote on an inline style attribute, or something related. Set a doctype (I like <!doctype html>) and and run the W3C validator or an html lint, then try jslint and csslint, you will find the problem with one of these, and if not, just rewrite the html, remove your table tags except where they are literally needed, separate your styles and javascript from your html, and just spruce things up. If there's something about the page that IE doesn't like (and it wouldn't be the first time), move elements around and play with the stylesheet until it does. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 7:57 PM, Stephens, Larry V <[email protected]>wrote: > > I have a page that does a moderately involved query: it returns 16 > fields with 3 left joins, a simple WHERE and ORDER.
