We have recently started testing IE7 beta 3 and noticed that many sites do not display correctly. Some sites, such as this one, do not display the content portion at all. When I try to access content on this site, it appears for an instant and then the screen goes to white, except for the side bars and header and footer. The content simply won't display but for an instant.

This is not unique to a single computer. We have installed beta 3 on several, and they all have the same problem.

Is this a security setting within IE7 beta 3, a problem with Drupal, or a combination with both?

Has anyone found a solution regardless of whose problem it is?

By the way, I am using Firefox to write this. It works fine.

Thank you

beta3 seems to have changed how it handles padding and margins. A few of my sites were ok in beta2 and Drupal.org was ok for the most part, but beta3 seems to have really done a number.

Beta 2 did not format well, but at least it displayed all the content. Unhappily, beta 3 just does not work at all. Is anyone working on a solution that you know of?

I guess that is why you should always have more than one browser!

When is this piece of dogmeat supposed to be released? With vista?

Yet another reason not to worry to much about sites in IE 7 until the beta comes out. Keeping an eye on how things look is good, but getting to worked up is not all that useful until the final product or beta is released.

I have noticed issues on a whole bunch of sites with beta 2 and beta 3 of this product, but as you say, these are test versions of the software and are only really being used by developers and early adopters. It isn't worth getting worked up over at all.

I would suggest providing feedback to the IE beta team, that is what betas are about afterall.
