32-bit different than 64-bit Internet Explorer

[Vernon de Goede]

Hi folks,

I'm currently working for a client.

After testing my page with all different kinds of browsers, I found out that my 32-bit Internet Explorer displays the page correct, but the 64-bit Internet Explorer displays the page wrong...

It looks like the 64-bit Internet Explorer has Javascript turned off, but I'm pretty sure that's not possible, becaise I never changed any setting of Internet Explorer (both versions), since I'm using Firefox every day.

Is there anyone having similar problems? Is this a known issue?

(Btw.: I'm not asking for any comments on the design).

So, here's a screenshot:

First guess is that the 64bit version of IE is using some different rendering setting e.g. quirksmode, compatibility mode or perhaps a different interpretation of doctype. I suggest you check whether 64bit IE has different ways of doing things. Also are you applying any conditional comments? I don't know if IE supports conditional comments depending on 32bit vs 64bit or just based on version number.

Anyway some things to look at :)

According to this article on the Microsoft Support site, there should only be problems with the addons / plugins (which is very obvious of course..

Update: Oh wait, there is a combination of Flash + Javascript used on the page. That might be the problem, since there is no 64 bit Flash player available (yet).
