[RESOLVED] disappearing text and scrolling

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 02.2008

Hi,

A strange thing is happening with some text on my website. I’ve had this problem before but for the life of me I can’t remember how to fix it or find anything on the internet to help.

Basically I’ve got a <p> full of text which displays fine in IE7 until I open another window on my computer or another tab in IE7. When I return to my website the text has disappeared. Then if I scroll the window with my website so that the area where the text should be isn’t on the screen and then scroll back to where the text is and the text has reappeared!

I seem to remember it is an IE7 bug and has something to do with floats.

Any help would be great

Cheers

@FangOct 02.2008 — Usually resolved with giving the element layout: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html

A link to the problem page would be useful.

I can't give a link to the page as its on a development server that is only accessible internally in my company. ?

I will look at the link you provided.

But I've just found another fix that seems to have solved it, but I have no idea why it has.

It was solved by putting:

position: relative;

in the containing div. ?
