In Internet Explorer 7 When clicking on a link on web page it goes no where but the page turns white

Question

Hi,

I am currently in the process of realigning my employers website.

I've noticed a strange error while working on my development environment where by when I click on a link, the browser will not go to the requested URL instead the page turns white with a few elements still existing on the page.

If I then click anywhere else on the page the page content comes back, and I can then try said link again, on second time around it takes me to the requested URL.

There is no javascript interfering with the link as far as I can tell.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Any help, is always appreciated.

"Turning white with a few elements still existing" sounds like there's some z-index jiggery-pokery going on, maybe in conjunction with a modal pop-up that covers/fades out the rest of the content.

Have you used the page with javascript disabled to completely rule this out (Internet options > Security > Custom Level > Disable active scripting)?
