I have worked with this combination for quite a few sites and never had this issue.
The template displays correctly in Chrome and Firefox - apart from RokSprocket slideshow not working.
In IE it is not displaying correctly at all.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated - my troubleshooting has come to a dead end.
yes - the URL changed.
After not being able to fix the issue I decided to start from scratch in a different subfolder of the domain.
This is a demo for the customer and will on completion moved to their domain.
Anyway - the new installation has no issues.
I am still at a loss as to what caused it in the first place.
It shall remain a mystery
