IE6 Z-Index Difference Between 2 Servers

Question

So, I have 2 servers that serve pages. I am running ColdFusion on Windows Server 2003 with IIS6. I created the site and synchronized the files between the 2 servers. In the right hand side of my site is a popup div for the search. On Server1 in IE6, this div works perfectly, on server 2 it gets cut off. Due to the synchronization software used, I cannot have different files on the two servers.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

I finally figured it out! It seems that 2 image files, for some reason, didn't have read permissions on them on the second server:

/images/search_04_drop_04-ie6.png /images/search_jason_04-ie6.png

updated the permissions and it started working.

Thanks for all of your help in this.

Answer 2

Your IE6 stylesheet if failing to load for the second site.

This URL works: http://www.sdccc.org:81/styles/03-ie6-fix.css

This URL doesn't: http://www.sdccc.org:82/styles/03-ie6-fix.css

Oddly, this only appears to occur in IE itself - verifying the links above in Chrome and both of them work.

Update:
The port 82 server is returning Content-Encoding: gzip and Vary: Accept-Encoding headers - the port 81 server is not.

I suspect this is a bug with IE not accepting the gzipped content?

Answer 3

Two equal documents in the same browser has to produce the same page:

As I can see the document produced by each servers are practically the same, except for the CSS stylesheet:

<LINK href="./sd81_files/01-ejungle.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

and

<LINK href="http://www.sdccc.org:82/styles/01-ejungle.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

Yes, you can say that the files are the same, but when I saved the files into my computer, the second one did not arrive. Check the link and try again.
