Re: [SMARTY] Smarty and Internet Explorer issue

Peggy,

I assume that you took a "View Source" copy and paste into another
HTML web page and tried to load this non-dynamic web page. If this
works OK in IE6 then I would assume that you are correct about there
is something not working with how PHP presents the web page via
smarty.

I would also try the following to help:

<?php

// smarty code here

ob_start();
// ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); // this is the same, but compresses HTML
$smarty->display('this_template.html');
ob_end();

?>

This way the output is forced to come all at the same time and will
be treated just the same as a static HTML page. If you use the
compression option it may also force the page not to be cached as
well.

Also, preventing caching is also what you may wish to do:

<?php

// prevent page caching with HTTP headers, put this at top of web
page
header("Pragma: no-cache"); 
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); 
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); 
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); 


?>

I would give those a try. I would guess that the problem is not
smarty per-se but some quirk in how IE 6 displays webpages when all
of the information is not passed at the same time.
