Why don't you provide the URL of the site you are having troubles with 
so that the rest of us can see for ourselves if we get the same results 
or not. If we don' the same results then, naturally, the problem is at 
your end.

But telling us all about it is a waste of time because someone will ask 
a question, you reply, they ask another question, you reply and this can 
go on ad nauseum.

Give the URL so that we can see for ourselves.
