Can you post the file here so we can help?

which browser do you use? some browsers enable you to select different colors for the text that is displayed on web pages in the Preferences section. try that and see if it works.

which is why you should always define a background-color. Even your OS' color theme can have effect on it.

sorry for double post

I opened it with firefox and the text shows, how do i edit the settings in my IE so it does show?

[rootbear75]

all i can think of is to make sure that these check boxes are all unchecked:

(If your using IE7, the tools menu is on the far right)

other than that, try playing around with them...

 

im not sure if this will work... just a thought though

 

security settings maybe?
