All,

I have a web site that's built with GWT at https://penwag.com/penwag/. If you just hit the site and see the main page, there's supposed to be a login/registration area that displays, along with a teaser for the site. I've tried the site with most of the main browsers - FF 3 & 3.5, IE 6 & 8, Safari, and Chrome, and all appears well to me.

However, I have a non-geek user that has visited the site from both work and home. The work computer can see the intro page fine, but the home computer shows only the static content, and non of the javascript-based portion, that is the login/registration and teaser. Both computers are using IE 8. He checked the computer where the site fails, and scripting is enabled.

Can anyone else see the problem? (You don't have to register to see the problem, just hit the main page.) Anything else I should check or have him try?

Thanks!

Edit:

The site is implemented using GWT 1.7.0.

I'll have to find out about the OS versions.

Edit:

The one that works is running Windows XT, the failing one is running Windows Vista. (There's a shocker!) I myself have viewed it successfully with both OSs.

Edit:

I've since completely re-structured the site, and documented the changes here:

So, the site is no longer the same as when I asked this question.
