In Firefox and Safari, all colors appear properly in the center and left column.

But in IE for Windows, the top background color and some of the text disappear: Specifically, the Build It! blue header in the center column, and the Plan It green header in the left column. Selecting the text, or sometimes scrolling the window, makes some of the background color appear.

And yes, I know the CSS for this site is, well, extremely dense. That's a worry for another day.

This may have something to do with FLOAT, but to be honest, I haven't even successfully managed to make a test case. My two questions: 1) If anyone can explain what I can do to make this page display in its proper colorfulness, I'd be very, very happy. 2) Is this a specific, known IE CSS bug that I can read about somewhere?

Travis:

Sounds like the peek-a-boo bug.  Try position everything:

Hope this helps,

Matthew,

Thanks.  I tried:

a) adding "position: relative" to the floating DIVs, and I tried

b) adding "height: 100%" to the parent DIV (called "container"), and then I tried

c) adding line-height to the floating div AND the container.

None of these corrected the glitches in the way the page displayed. What am I missing?

TTFN
Travis
