Subject: [WSG] Big Browsing Issues on clients PC Laptop AOL 




I just launched a site, and it’s browsing fine on my PC  Mac laptop from IE5-8 
browsers to FF etc. However, when my client visits her site on her PC laptop 
using AOL , it is browsing ( as if ) the stylesheet is applying only half way. 
I’ve recommended her to download the latest IE or FF, but she hasn’t done it 
yet. When she goes to her place of work, it looks fine. How could there be this 
huge discrepancy on her PC Laptop using AOL? 

Site is www.dianebrinker.com 
Screenshots she sent me: http://www.dianebrinker.com/diane_screenshots.jpg 



Thanks in advance for any help! 
Kristine

I can't speak for recently, but years ago AOL used to basically install
itself *as* your browser. The browser would be badged AOL, and it wouldn't
render quite like anything else that was around at the time. Now this was
probably around the time of IE4, so I would hope that things have changed -
I just checked the analytics account for a huge (180m pageviews/month) site,
and there are zero records of any browser with the string AOL in the
identification string, which suggests that there is currently no such thing
as an AOL browser.

Perhaps your stylesheet is cached by an AOL proxy?

Since AOL5 (and possibly earlier) the Windows version of AOL has used the
Internet Explorer rendering engine. If a suitable version of IE was already
installed it used that, otherwise it installed a newer version.

It would be interesting to see if the same problems occur when she accesses
the website using Internet Explorer.
