Hi,

I am working on a social site : www.keldeleers.nl. The problem is that some pages are not rendered properly through internet explorer, all other browsers do the trick fine. ( chrome, firefox and safari tested fine )

For example, www.keldeleers.nl/forum doesn't render properly on any internet explorer I own.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Usually these problems are related to the non-standard way Internet Explorer renders HTML + CSS.
But in your case IE apparently isn't using CSS at all...
I would check your CSS files and try to fix some of the many errors shown by the CSS validator (see http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri...)

IE limitations - Internet Explorer can render maximum of 31 CSS files in a page .
your site's forum page http://www.keldeleers.nl/forum has around 33 CSS files.
and this is the reason this page is not rendring properly in IE.

So either try to reduce the CSS files or compress CSS files from Performance section.

I think you might be hitting the infamous IE CSS stylesheet limit. A way to check is to turn on CSS caching and see if that fixes the problem. If it does than turn caching back off (only during development) and grab yourself one of the Drupal modules that fixes this nasty little issue. However, one your site is live, best practices dictate to have CSS caching on anyway.

Compressing the CSS files worked. My pages render fine under internet explorer now.

Thanx to everybody who helped me, the solution was so simple, but you needed to know where to look.

Kind Regards.

Sure, I ran up against this only a few days ago, this is one of those "needle in a haystack" type things unless you know where to look.
