Items not Displaying

Update with results:Testing parameters: IE6 and Firefox 2.0.0.11, using a bandwidth choke (NetLimiter 1.30) <-- I recommend this tool to anyone running courseware testing.Two different page sets. At high speed, all operates normally on both pages.Gradually tuning the choke down to around 28.8k, I start to see elements that do not appear on screen (the titlebar and navigation bar background which happen to be the same object type) after a refresh. So they display fine and cache, but at slower speeds on a refresh they refuse to display. My read box (narration text) also does not populate on certain pages (though these pages are configured NO differently than pages that don't have odd problems). In Firefox, I don't get display issues with images while throttling bandwidth. However, I can't get certain elements to display on the screen -- storyboard number populates a text box from a variable, it won't populate. Breadcrumbs, page numbers are a no go.So I have a baffling array of differences in output using Lectora. The file sizes are bloated beyond belief for some pretty simple functionality, and I've wasted a heap of time troubleshooting something that shouldn't be a problem and I am really no closer to the answer than I was before. I don't relish the thought of completely rebuilding each of these courses, as it was painful enough the first time. ** Edited for tone - by Steve:)Edited By: sflowers on 2008-2-8 15:31:21
