Hi

This question is not directly related to Intrabuilder, but the problem
was detected when testing an Intrabuilder-made program, so maybe someone
else came across it too.

The program consists in forms which contain some text on top and then
listboxes and select objects. I made a test on a colleague's computer
running Internet Explorer 3 on Windows NT 4 ; when a form is loaded,
only the text elements appear in the window ; there's no background
image, no other components ; BUT, the source code contain the whole HTML
; I can wait 5 minutes and the form remains uncomplete ; BUT, when I
move the window's scrollbar, the whole form is displayed.

Isn't that really amazing ? I played with it during 15 minutes and it
was always the same : the form remains uncomplete until you move the
scrollbar. What can I do to help this user having a proper browser ? I
have made tests with other PCs running IE3 and there was no problem.
