IE page shifting.... very interesting

[bobetko]

Strange problem with IE (6.0)

I have 3 html pages. Each contains exactly same picture placed into table. Only difference is that one cell contains different text (simple text) for each page.
exp.
1. page: Welcome text
2. page: rules information
3. page: internet form

All of the pages are basically same file. I made three copies and just made changes.

After first htm page is loaded, whole page is shifted little bit to the left, maybe one 1/4 inch. If I press F5(reload) page then shift to the right (into correct position).
If I go to the next (2nd) page, 2nd page loads correctly, but if I click back, first page is shifted again. (after F5, page again takes its right position).

The most interesting thing is that if I go to Tools->Internet Options->Delete Files (Temporary Internet Files) while my page is shifted, then it takes rigth position again.

Verry very frustrating.

I checked same page with Mozilla and everything was fine. No shifting at all.

Any ideas?

When you say "page" do you mean the actual explorer window of the picture in the webpage?
THis may be better suited to a web design forum if its the later.

On my html page, there is table
<table width=&quot;50%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;>

This table is shifting. When I load page, table is not in the center, it is shifted to the left (like I said, maybe 1/4 inch). If I click Reload (f5) than table gets to its right position. If I go to next page and click Back, table is shifted again.

Then, if I delete temporary internet files. As soon as I click OK (on the Internet Options dialog window), table moves back to its right position. This is what intriguing me. I didn't click reload or anything. How come deleting temporary internet file can affect already opened page. (there are only images and text, no javascripts or applets are on the page).

This looks to me as a browser issue, something is wrong with cashed files, I guess?

Have you tried your page in another browser such as opera or mozilla firebird?

I did. I tried mozilla and there was no shifting...

I also checked this on different computers and in Explorer table was shifting. So, nothing is bad with my computer.

This is not big deal at all. I can live with that small shift.
I noticed this maybe year ago when I was working on different project (it was probably Explorer 5.5) and I ignored it.

I thought it is maybe known bug or something.

When I post it online I'll send you link so you can check it by yourself.

Yes, I would be grateful if you could.
