PHP include not working right in IE7, works fine in Firefox/Safari

    I have a short PHP include that brings up a short advertisement in my Website on each of the 10 or so pages where I've inserted it. This works fine in Safari and Firefox. When I view my site in IE7, however, the include works on just one of the 10 pages -- for no reason that I can see, IE7 does not load the include on the other 9 pages, but instead leaves a blank space.

    The include just features a simple text statement and the only thing at all unusual about it might be that it has perhaps more than the usual amount of css info using the "style=" format.

    Does anyone know why IE7 would not consistently load this PHP include of mine, even though Safari and Firefox will?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    PS I'm also getting an irritating 22-grand spam offer every time I click in Digital Point Forums: If anyone can tell me how to prevent that, I'd appreciate it, too.

    PHP is server side, so it's can't be IE that is not loading the include, it must be the ad or whatever is being included. If you dont mind, post code here and we can help better.

    Thanks for the responses. I probably should have mentioned that this IE7 is on a company computer that has a firewall. Even knowing that, however, it seems odd to me that this include file works fine on my index page on IE7, but does not show up on any other page.

    I've attached the script.

    Thanks again for any ideas.

    Brian

    PS The company Net connection routinely blocks pop-ups, but I don't see how the script (see example.php in attachment) would qualify as a pop-up.

    Thanks again for your help. It had nothing to do with CSS or the company firewall or even IE7 -- it was just a PHP programming glitch on my part where strlen($var) should have been keyed simply as $var.

    I'm so used to IE7 (and even my company server) causing problems, that it didn't occur to me that I myself was the fly in the ointment ;)
