The client told me that some element on some screens in a elearning
course I built for them that runs off their SCORM-compliant Learning
Management system (LMS) do not display.

When I tested it off their LMS:
- all screens display in Safari, Opera, and Firefox
- the problem does occur in IE 8
- if I press the F11 key (the full screen key) the "missing" elements show
- all screen elements are dynamically generated using
document.createElement et al
- no js error/warning appears to be thrown
- no CSS errors/warnings are apparent in the generated screens
- on my local LMS I don't have any problems
- the course passes the relevant SCORM test suite.

How do I approach a fix for this?

Is there any (perhaps IE specific) CSS that prevents scroll bars from
appearing, like
body { overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; }
so that some elements are not visible with a smaller window while they
are shown in a full screen window?

No CSS that prevents scroll bars from appearing. It all appears fine
locally.
