This just started happening - at least I think so.

Normally, I use FireFox 3.0 as my browser, so I don't often look at my website in IE. However, today I checked it out in IE7 and found that some pages don't load completely. When I examine the source it just appears to end abruptly before rendering the entire page.

This is happening also in IE6 - more often than not displaying only a white screen with the following as the entire contents of the source:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Each attempt yields somewhat different results, but these are typical.

I searched this forum and found some similar posts, but nothing really close to what I'm experiencing nor a definitive solution.

I've attached comparative screen images and the truncated source code.

IE7 (truncated): http://www.sandlotsociety.com/dev/sites/default/files/temp/FF3_NotTrunca...
IE7 (truncated source):

Thanks for the help!

Oops!
The first two files are reversed, but you can tell which one is which by the file name. Sorry for the confusion.

{Sure wish I could edit the original post!}

Hi,
I'm getting a 404 on all those images.

Hmmm...

Matthew, Thanks for attempting to look at the files.

The links work fine for me (no 404 error). Don't know what the problem may be.
The property for the three files is 644, readable by owner, group and other.

If it isn't one thing it's another...

Update...

I'm using Drupal ver 5.12.

Could my problem be somehow related to caching? I've experimented with both Normal and Disabled caching. Seems like the problem described above does not occur with caching disabled. Is there anything different with the way caching works in ver 5.12 vs ver 5.11?

Sort of hate to leave caching disabled since pages seem to load quicker for anonymous users.

Had to leave caching off to avoid this problem.

I'll look forward to someone's suggestion on how to fix the truncation and leave caching on.

Thanks,

my problem was so that in firefox everything was ok, but in ie the pages rendered incomplete and it seemed to be truncated among flushing content.

i changed the caching state to "disabled" in performance page.

and the problem solved.
i wondered if it is because of database overloading... any idea?

Now getting a 403 on those images!
(Indeed - if it's not one thing, it's another!)
