A weird problem has started with my installation. Not sure when it started, as I mostly use Firefox, but the user login block is not showing in any version of IE.

It appears in every other browser I've tried (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari), but in IE the block just doesn't appear in the page source.

Here is the source as viewed in Safari:

<li class="leaf last"><a href="/contact" title="Contact Plan UK using a form">Contact</a></li>
</ul></div>
</div>
<div id="block-user-0" class="clear-block block block-user">

  <h2>User login</h2>

  <div class="content"><form action="/home?destination=node%2F120"  accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="user-login-form">
<div><div class="form-item" id="edit-name-wrapper">
 <label for="edit-name">Username: <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <input type="text" maxlength="60" name="name" id="edit-name" size="15" value="" tabindex="1" class="form-text required" />
</div>
<div class="form-item" id="edit-pass-wrapper">
 <label for="edit-pass">Password: <span class="form-required" title="This field is required.">*</span></label>
 <input type="password" name="pass" id="edit-pass"  maxlength="60"  size="15"  tabindex="2" class="form-text required" />
</div>
<input type="submit" name="op" id="edit-submit" value="Log in"  tabindex="3" class="form-submit" />
<div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first"><a href="/user/register" title="Create a new user account.">Create new account</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="/user/password" title="Request new password via e-mail.">Request new password</a></li>
</ul></div><input type="hidden" name="form_build_id" id="form-ae3909eda750f31bfc060289345ddf65" value="form-ae3909eda750f31bfc060289345ddf65"  />
<input type="hidden" name="form_id" id="edit-user-login-block" value="user_login_block"  />

</div></form>
</div>
</div>
        </div>
      
      <div id="center"><div id="squeeze"><div class="right-corner"><div class="left-corner">
          <div class="breadcrumb"><a href="/">Home</a></div>

but here it is when viewed in IE8:

<li class="leaf last"><a href="/contact" title="Contact Plan UK using a form">Contact</a></li>
</ul></div>
</div>
        </div>
      
      <div id="center"><div id="squeeze"><div class="right-corner"><div class="left-corner">
          <div class="breadcrumb"><a href="/">Home</a></div>                              <h2>Your Floor Plan Is Here</h2> 

I've tried using a default theme just to check if that makes any difference, but it doesn't.

The site is at http://plan-uk.com/ - please could someone have a look and see if this behaviour is happening for them?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

There are a lot of modules on this site, but I'm not sure what could be causing this glitch. I tried uninstalling some of them, but without any success.

Hi,

I am new to Drupal. Found the same problem as mentioned above, so login block does not appear in IE 7, works correctly in Firefox (3.6.10).
Theme that I use is CLI Flex.
Anyone has a solution for this problem?

Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Mirjana

I suggest this may be a css problem, which is usually the culprit with IE.

You need to look at the css for the block and maybe disable (comment out) some of the css to see if it makes a difference.

With all those modules, you may be hitting the IE css file limit too.

Many thanks for the answer.

I will try to check if anything is possible to do with css, hope I have to check css of my Theme under installFolder\xampp\htdocs\drupal\sites\all\themes\cti_flex\css?!

I also tried to installed SMF, got "Drupal already installed" message, and even cannot get my Admin Drupal site any more in order to to disable SMF and delete it :(.

Stuck with Drupal and its problems ...

Thanks and regards,
Mirjana

Your login block is showing OK in IE8 btw.

Thanks for answering :)
I did not get a chance to try it in IE8 as I stuck with boring message "Drupal already installed", and I cannot get my Admin interface back any more. Spent the day in reading about reasons for that message and some solutions, but no luck in solving it. Seems one day for that is not so much, as some people kept getting it for a week.
Not a good start for me :(

Thanks and regards,
Mirjana

Seems I did not understand things correctly. I got a login box once when I logged out. While I was logged in, it did not appear. Of course it is the same behaviour in IE 7/8 as well as Firefox.
Sorry for my ignorance., really did not take it into consideration that login block cannot appear once when I am logged in.

Thanks and regards,
Mirjana
