IE Refresh Issue

IE Refresh Issue

Hi all,
I'm almost positive I've seen this issue before but I'm afraid I can't
find it now, so I apologise if it's a repeated question.
I have a page which displays a dialog box, which is initially hidden.
In IE the dialog box is displayed while the page is loaded, rather
than staying hidden as it does in other browsers. How can I prevent IE
from displaying the dialog box?
Like I say, I'm sure I've seen it before on here but I didn't pay any
attention to it, now I'm wishing I had!
Cheers in advance,
Burnmw
