When the HTML is generated by the PHP the rendering is all over the place, however if I save the source code of that document and open as a local copy in internet explorer, the page looks exactly as it is meant to.

I suspect the server is sending a header which is making IE change
rendering modes; you might want to look at the headers it's sending.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. Would the fact that the DOCTYPE specifies XHTML Strict but it's a PHP file (and probably therefore a php mime-type) do the trick?

PHP doesn't have a MIME type; it generates content of various MIME types, but in 99.9% of cases it generates text/html :)


Is it at a publically-accessible URL?

No, but it can be... :o)

Good stuff - it looks as though Perry may have hit the nail on the head with the unclosed label tag - does that fix it for you?

I suspect that some header the server sends is making IE go into "forgiving" mode; when loaded straight from disc, it might be going into nazi mode, perhaps.

The W3C validator is always a good place to turn for any HTML/CSS which misbehaves. If everything checks out with the validator, you can tell people "Your browser is clearly broken, get a better one". Unfortunately, that doesn't always go over so well in the corporate world :|
