IE 9 Problems

Hi:

When I view my site inside Visual Studio 2010 using the Development Server, the site looks good in IE9. When I host my site in IIS 7.5, the site looks lousy in IE9 but good in Firefox and Google Chrome.  For some reason my site looks lousy inside IE 9 when served from IIS 7.5.  Has anyone run into this problem before? I have updated the server and my IE 9 browser.

You can try the developer tool from IE9 to find the problem, you can activate this tools pressing F12

Hi:

If I type in the IP Address, the site looks ok in IE9. It is only when I use the DNS the site looks bad.

Re: IE 9 Problems

That's very strange.

Can you give us the site address so we can help more?

Thanks,

Re: IE 9 Problems

Hi:

It's not an Internet site yet. I am currently developing the site and testing in IIS 7.5. The site looks ok in Chrome and Firefox when using the DNS but lousy in IE9. If I type in the IP address it looks good in IE9.  Could the DNS need updating? I'm not real familiar with how a DNS works but that does seem to be the culprit.

Re: IE 9 Problems

Does the site look different in Chrome or Firefox when you use the IP vs using the Domain?

It sounds like the DNS A record for the Domain isn't pointing to the correct IP, maybe an old site?

What about the site is wrong in IE, does it not have any style at all, or are some styles not applied? Are there no images?

This is a very strange problem so we need more information to be able to help you. Saying the site looks lousy doesn't give us any clues.

Thanks,
Joe D.

Re: IE 9 Problems

Hi:

The site looks good whether I type in hte IP address or the domain in Chrome or Firefox.

Specifically, suppose you had a row of fieldsets all lined up horizontally. When I say "lousy" I mean two of the fieldsets are lined up and the other two are on top of each other. Also, I have an accordion at the top of the page.  When the accordion opens everything is supposed to move down.  I am using a Master Page. Everything moves down except what's on the Master Page.  All the content I have on the Master Page stays put and doesn't move. The content on the page slides over the content of the Master Page and covers up it's contents. Also, my corners are not rounding and my shadows are working either.

This all occurs if I type in the Domain with IE9.  It works ok with everything else.

Re: IE 9 Problems

Is IE using some sort of proxy?

Is the data on the site same regardless of using IP or Domain in IE?

Re: IE 9 Problems

Hi:

Yes the data is the same. I'm not sure what a proxy is but I don't think I'm using one. Also, there is no possibility of pointing to the wrong site.  This is the only site on the server. However, I must add my server is a virtual machine.  Could that make a difference?

Re: IE 9 Problems

No, being a virtual machine wouldn't make a difference.

Without seeing the site, I can't help you much. If you can make the site public and send the IP address to me at joe at i7media dot net. I'll take a look at it for you.

Thanks,
Joe D.

Re: IE 9 Problems

Yes.

Thanks Joe. I might hook it up at home. If I do, I'll send you the IP address.
