I think that if you upgrade to Zen 6.x-1.1, the page.tpl.php provided in tma-6.x-1.1 is no longer compatible - resulting in long load times in IE8

See http://groups.drupal.org/node/17253 for a similar problem/solution.

I updated page.tpl.php to be more similar to the page.tpl.php released with Zen 6.x-1.1 and the issues with IE8 went away. I am not sure exactly what change was causing IE8 to delay loading, but it does appear that page.tpl.php needs to be updated.

Hi,

The post you are referencing is not clear on what the issue with IE8 is.

Can you post up the changes you did to page.tpl.php? Or did you just copy over the one from Zen 6.x-1.1 without change?

Thank you.

I've attached the changes that I made that solved the IE issues I observed. I do not have a conclusive analysis that makes it clear what caused the problem (long load times in IE), but it does seem clear that there were changes to the page.tpl.php in the Zen update, and TMA probably needs to update page.tpl.php similarly to avoid any problems.

Having looked at your page.tpl.php ... the only change which looks significant is the removal of the IE conditional comments. Zen implemented this in page.tpl.php in http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=140050 but (I think) there is some sort of dependency on the Conditional Styles module (http://drupal.org/project/conditional_styles).

At the moment, I'm hesitant to make the same change to page.tpl.php for tma until I've had a chance to examine the issue and test more fully.
