Form fields appear wrong, then adjust themselves (loads slow)

>> In Internet Explorer 9, my form appears in the wrong layout for a second, then adjusts itself to the correct layout.<<

I?m experiencing the same problem, plus the form takes a long time to load.
It happens in most of my forms but this is the worst: http://fairprice.dk/index.php/product


Any idea why?

Which fabrik version are you running?
If you've updated from GitHub there's a Fabrik option ("JavaScript" in "Options") "Use flexie". Try with setting it to NO.

I'm runnung Fabrik 3.07 / GitHub 3.0.6.3
With "Use flexie" turned off the page load fast but then the form fields never align.
(Label and field on separate lines)
When turned on it's slow but the fields align eventually.

I assume it's your template breaking the fabrik template in IE (misaligned fields).
Can you turn flexie off and use a standard Joomla template (e.g. beez5) to check?

Same issue with the beez5 template I'm afraid :/

If not the template and not flexie ?
Anyone . . ?

use the labels above form template instead.
Basically IE doesn't natively support the css we use in the default form template. We use the flexie.js tool to get round that. Unfortunately its a bit slow with larger forms, nothing we can do about it as things stand.

This is resolved in the upcoming 3.1b for Joomla3 as we've replaced the default template with a bootstrapped markup template.
