Dear All,

I am encountering with very weird issue for Last few days. I’ve developed on Web Site in ASP.net using VS2010 and hosted it on one Window 2003 server (IIS 6.0).
My website is simple data driven application and renders some controls based the Data in background using AJAX (nothing fancy about it).

Now my issue is that when I access my website by using IP (like http://xx.xxx.xx.xx/Mysite/default.aspx), it works fine and render all the controls with perfect UI and CSS.
But when I access the same website using server name (like http://SERVERNAME/Mysite/default.aspx) then the page UI get distorted and doesn’t render the controls correctly.

I tried to compare the rendered HTML in bath cases but could not find any difference. I thought there might be some difference in control rendering mechanism so I did some tweaking in my code too, but still no luck.

Can anyone please help me to provide some lead to sort this out?

But I cannot share the code. Though I scanned all my code and now using minimum CSS and Javascript. Now I fixed some of the problems, but the main problem still persist :(
