I think there is a problem with IE6 / IWP / FMS11A.

My list layout looked fine with FMS10A, but with FMS11A, when a user with IE6 goes to the list layout, the entire header part of the layout is blank, and in addition there is a blank area of about 4 cm before the first records appears.

If I grab the side of the window and resize it, the header appears, the buttons work, but the white space above the first record remains.

Yes - I realize that IE6 was replaced by IE7 in 2006… but my client has over 2,000 employees using IE6, and the IT department are not in any hurry to upgrade.

The official specification is

http://www.filemaker.co.uk/products/filemaker-server/server-11-specifications.html

It requires IE7 or higher.

Well, IE7 was also supposedly required for FM10 - http://www.filemaker.com/downloads/pdf/fm10_instant_web_publish_en.pdf but it seems to work fine with IE6.

So this is a heads up for anyone using IWP with FMSA10 – it may not work properly with FMSA11 if your clients are using IE6.

Apparently many corporate users still use IE6 – I guess if you are an IT department with thousands of users, you don’t want to have to upgrade their browsers unless you absolutely need to.

I was pretty surprised to find out that my client is still using IE6 across the organization of 2,000+ users.
