View Full Version : All of a page loads, but does not show in its entirety

First of all, thanks very much for providing this quality service for free.

My problem is this: All the contents of the top page (and the top page only) at my site apparently gets read (confirmed by viewing the html source), but only part of it can be seen in the browser window. The counter itself appears to be working properly.

By trial and error, I have found out that I can have the browser show the page in its entirety with everything (font specification, layout etc) intact by changing font size (via browser-side option) (or by disabling JavaScript). As soon as I have the page reloaded, however, the same anomaly recurs.

All of the other pages show exactly as intended in its eitirety. This anomaly occurs only on the top page. I have tried various configuring options of the counter including making it visible, making it html only, etc, but it persists.

I suspect that this may be peculiar to some particular browser(s), or, the output html code from your service is conflicting with processing of the blog system of my website.

Here's relevant (hopefully) info about my environment:

OS: WinXP Home edition Service Pack I (and subsequent patches) applied
Browser: IE 6.0 (ditto for the patches)
Website: Blog hosting service (free account)
Blog system: Movable Type (? I am not 100% sure)
Counter code location: inside "descriptiion" class html tag, cut and pasted but bracketed inside another div tag within "description" class (partly due to restrictions on free accounts)

I'd appreciate any help, as this anomaly occurs at the topmost page (=entrance) of my website.

Thank you in advance for your kind attention.

Managed to let go of the anomaly described above, by explicitly specifying the position of the counter within the boundary of initially allotted "banner" (header) section of my webpages.

Prior to realising that this trick actually works, the counter was to be located below the subheader ("description"), at the left-bottom corner of the banner/header area (since it was bracketed within a pair of div tag). making that area slightly taller.

I have no clue whatsoever as to why or how this works; but now my top page can be browsed in its entirety with/without JavaScript enabled.

I apologise for posting my initial article in the "Bugs" section of this forum. The anomaly I experienced was most probably NOT caused by any bug on StatCounter's side.
