I recently completed a website for a client and put it on my test site from them to review. They got back to say that it looked great on one machine, but part of the footer was displaced when viewed on another. It was all looking fine at my end, so I had to visit them to check it out.
Viewing the site on their PC it became apparent that an image tag was being completely stripped out. It was missing in Internet Explorer, Firefox and even SamSpade, so this was happening at quite a fundamental level. The slice in question was a button used to open a pdf document in a new window (target="_blank"). This had to be some extreme form of pop-up blocking and it didn't take long for find the culprit. Switching ZoneAlarm's Ad Blocking setting from High to Medium resolved the problem.
