Stumped on Disappearing Reappearing Text

I know I'm not crazy . . .

In FF the product description displays fine:

http://www.divakminerals.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=84&products_id=259

In IE 7 though the product description doesn't display, it's there, but it looks like white text or something

Has anyone seen this problem before and if so any fix? How or where is the product description font defined?

Thank you,

Thank you,

FYI, the same problem occurs using FireFox's "view in IE tab" . . . Looks like I'm not the only one stumped. Is anyone else seeing the same problem? Can anyone tell me where the Product Description is defined and in what stylesheet?

Thank you,

Re: Stumped on Disappearing Reappearing Text

Checking validation shows a few issues, which IE might stumble with:

583  The @charset rule may only occur at the start of the style sheet. Please check that there are no spaces before it.@charset "iso-8859-1"; 
780 .main_cent2 Property paddding doesn't exist : 5 0 0 0 
887 .cent_txt Value Error : padding only 0 can be a length. You must put an unit after your number : 0 5 0 5px 
888 .cent_txt Value Error : margin only 0 can be a length. You must put an unit after your number : 0 5 0 5px 
1148 .prod_table Value Error : min-height auto is not a min-height value : auto

Re: Stumped on Disappearing Reappearing Text

Disappearing text is a well known IE bug. You can Google for it and find all sorts of possible fixes. You'll just have to try some of them until you hit the one that works in your circumstances.

And as DrByte says, fixing the validation errors would be a very good first step.

Re: Stumped on Disappearing Reappearing Text

Ok, I'll start to look into this. Can someone advise as to which stylesheet sets the params for the product info?

Nevermind, I just found it. Thank you all

Looks like I'm about to learn about css
