I have a regular .aspx page with some text boxes and buttons. When going to the page on an XP machine all looks fine. On a Vista machine, the text boxes do not show up; only the labels.

What would cause this?

Thanks
 
Can you post an example of the text boxes? And let us know what browser versions you have on both PCs?

On the Vista machine IE7 (7.06) and on XP IE7 7.05). Example source of textboxes:

<label for="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_Email" id="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_EmailLabel" class="contentMAIN">E-mail:</label></td>
<td align="left" >
<input name="ctl00$innerMain$Register1$CreateUserWizard1$CreateUserStepContainer$Email" type="text" id="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_Email" class="formfield" style="width:179px;" />
<span id="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_EmailRequired" title="E-mail is required." style="color:Red;display:none;">*</span>
<span id="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_EmailRequiredExpression" style="color:Red;display:none;">*</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">
<label for="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_Password" id="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_PasswordLabel" class="contentMAIN">Password:</label></td>
<td align="left" >
<input name="ctl00$innerMain$Register1$CreateUserWizard1$CreateUserStepContainer$Password" type="password" id="ctl00_innerMain_Register1_CreateUserWizard1_CreateUserStepContainer_Password" class="formfield" style="width:179px;" />
 
Those 2 loaded fine for me on Vista/IE 8. Could it be a browser setting?

When you view source (from the browser) on the PC in question are the fields there, just not dispayed? Or are they not even there?

Can you try logging into the Vista PC as a different user and seeing if that has any effect?

I am not sure what browser setting it could be. I am admin on this machine and it has it in the source, but it just does not display the textboxes or buttons in IE.
 
I'm not sure what browser setting it could be but it apparently isn't your code. I would try creating a new user on your Vista box. Login as that user and make no desktop or browser changes. Open the page a see what you get.

Same thing. Even tried in Firefox on my Vista machine.
 
Ended up being screen-resolution. If screen is 800x600 the textboxes were off the visual area of the screen.
 
wow....Glad you figured it out.
