The problem describes — pages that work on a local server but break after upload in IE6/IE7 — often comes down to differences between the development environment and the live host. and correctly flagged resource and path issues; the checklist below adds server- and IE-specific items that are frequently missed and will help narrow the cause without repeating those earlier suggestions.

  • Confirm the document triggers standards mode in IE. A missing or incorrect DOCTYPE can push IE6/7 into quirks mode and change layout drastically.
  • Check server response headers for CSS/JS/images. Old IEs can ignore files served with the wrong MIME type or with broken compression. Use a header check to verify Content-Type and Content-Encoding.
  • Remember filesystem differences: many local dev setups on Windows are case-insensitive; most hosts are case-sensitive. Filename case mismatches show up only after upload.
  • Watch for mixed-content (HTTP assets on an HTTPS page) and server-side redirects or rewrite rules that alter resource URLs.
  • Inspect server error logs and file permissions; a 403 or 500 can leave parts of a page unstyled without an obvious 404 in the browser.
  • Account for IE-only quirks: PNG alpha handling in IE6, conditional comments, and X-UA-Compatible behavior can all produce divergent results from modern browsers.

Quick checks that often find the issue: request a problematic asset directly in a browser, or run a header probe such as

curl -I http://yourdomain/path/to/file.css

Collect the page DOCTYPE, the exact asset HTTP headers, and any server log entries before making changes; these facts pinpoint the difference between local and live environments without guessing.

either it didn't copy over correctly or you forgot to upload additional files it requires, such as a style sheet.

May be you may have included hard coded reference for external css files & images; so try to use relative paths if so..
This may solve your issue..
