the text on the page - regular text, links - you name it. It's very
weird, and only started happening after our move to W2k/CFMX - I'm just
trying to figure out what's changed. One of our dev servers is still
running NT4/CF 4.5, and going to the same pages on it doesn't cause the
problem.
Anyone know if CFMX returns different header information for a page, or
anything that might affect this?

Are you using CSS to format the links? I've run into display
issues
with older NN versions as well, specifically when using border
formatting on buttons or form fields--buttons still appear
without
formatting, but have a rectangle below them; form fields tend to
disappear and get ignored by the form processor (though they are
in
the browser source).
If CSS is the culprit, I would say that the work around is to
either
dumb down your CSS, or uses a browser sniffer and serve up
different
style sheets accordingly.
