I have a web-based timesheet system that uses ColdFusion (Server 5) and SQL 2000. When a user selects a link on a page that causes another page to display the resulting page is not displayed until the mouse is moved over an object that exists on the resulting page or the mouse button is clicked anywhere on the page.

That is, if I select a link from page 1 and page 2 only contains a text box in the upper left - I see only page 1 until the mouse moves over where the text box on page to is/should be!

Strange? A Little!!

This problem exists on IE5 and IE5.5 and any suggestions would be most appreciated!

That's pretty funky. It sounds like some kind of html issue. Does it not happen with IE 6, Netscape, or Opera? Can you post a link to it?

Just a thought -- there is an option in IE (under Advanced in the Tools menu) called Enable Page Transitions. Maybe try turning that on/off and see if that is doing it.

can't provide a link, but the start of the html is

also, not yet tested in NN or other as the environment is IE specific.

It's hard to say, without knowing what is in the style sheets. Looks like you have a js script that is writing some inline styles and you have a link to one as well. I'm no css guru, but I am curious about the media="screen" attribute. While it shouldn't be a problem, I wonder if IE 5.x has a problem with it.

My first guess would be to start poking around with the style sheets -- maybe remove the link to the style sheets temporarily to determine if in fact it is causing the problem. You are not getting any errors or anything -- so I don't think it is a CF issue. You may try posting in one of the HTML or CSS forums and see if someone there has a better idea.

Good Luck!

cheers for the reply.

remove the media= statement but to no avail. the only thing i can see that this page does different than another one that doesnt appear to demonstrate this phenomina is that the whole content of the page depends on a parameter such that

Code:

<cfif isAdmin>
  <tr class=&quot;lined&quot;>
  .
  .
<cfelse>
  <p>You really shouldn't be here!</p>
</cfif>

have posted to css/html to see if anyone else has seen this - strange!

cheers
