AJAX and IE6

[Kleptican]

Hey all,

I'm very new to AJAX but we've decided to use AJAX with our coldfusion website and there are some display issues with IE6.

The website is broken up into 3 parts:

Header
------
Content
------
Footer

When a page request is made in the header, that in turns update the information in the content, using an AJAX request, the <div>s in the content and some formatting (all controlled with css) are wrong. They're stretched out and definately do not look the way they should. However, when I simply refresh the page, everything looks the way it should. In IE7 and FireFox, the page displays correctly when updated with the AJAX request.

Does anyone know of any serious problems with AJAX and IE6 that would cause formatting to be rendered incorrectly? I realize that I haven't given a wealth of information in this post as my question is probably in a more general sense.

Thanks for any input.

No problem exists with AJAX (as a technique) that would cause this problem (with any browser). The problem is with incorrect markup and css being applied to your page. You should confirm that the DOM is valid after the AJAX call (for instance you could alert the innerHTML of the body node, or use the IE Developer Toolbar).

Cheers,
Jeff
