First question : does it always happen on the sames pages, or do you
have a same page sometimes OK and sometimes not ?
Second question : does it happen with all browsers or only with a
specific one ?

For the record, I spent 10 minutes browsing the site, reloading pages,
whatever, and couldn't see anything wrong here (using Chrome).

Looks like your doing some things the hard way here... I don't have
time to dig further by now - and it would require better knowledge of
the model and specs - but there's very certainly a simpler and more
efficient way to achieve the same result.

Your html is not very well formatted and uses quite a few nested
tables so I find it a bit hard to read and doublecheck.  Having well
formatted html really helps when it comes to debugging, because you
can more easily spot a missing (or extra) closing tag or other
problems - and have an idea of the whole document structure at first
sight too.

Hmmm... Don't think so. At worst you'd have the page showing with no
styles at all, then reflowing to accomodate the css.

IMHO the problem is somewhere in your markup and/or css. FWIW, mixing
tables and css positionning might not be best thing to do - not that
it can't work, but it easily becomes tricky. Oh and yes while we're at
it: your template specifies a xhtml strict doctype, so make sure your
markup is really xhtml-compliant. If your browser switches to quirk-
mode then all bets are off.

Anyway: nothing Django-related here AFAICT, pure html/css stuff. My
best bet: use firefox / firebug, and when you meet the problem
carefully inspect your dom and computed styles, and eventually look
for help on a web authoring forum / group / mailing-list / whatever.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help here.

No problem, you're welcome, and I'll happily help you debugging this
annoying whizz issue !-)
