Hi all,
We are experiencing a weird behavior for Internet Explorer w/ Service
Pack 2 on either Win2000 or WinXP. When a user browses our intranet Web
system, the only time he or she will be able to see the contents is
when he or she presses the Stop button in IE.

By observation, the page has already been completed but a blank
(white) screen is only displayed. (We knew that its complete by looking
at the status bar with the message "Done"). Then once the message
"Done" is seen, the user will now click the Stop button to display the
contents.

This is really weird and we dont know why its happening. The Web
appliation is developed in Java (JSP). We wish we knew what causes this
problem to happen. Any clues? Any service packs that caused this? Or
will solve this?

The weird behavior did not appear when using Firefox.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Henry
 
Hi Henry :-)

Try the following and see if it helps. However, be sure to check first to
see which ones may not work for one or the other of your OSs.

Go to Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom Levels> Check to Enable "Allow
META Refresh."

IE6 opens blank/empty/seethrough windows or have to refresh to see contents

If that doesn't work, then check out the following article and do the
additional steps outlined there:

This can sometimes prevent IE from displaying web content

Hope this helps.
