Missing Text

Mar 19, 2005 8:11AM PST

I have observed a web page, (WWW.Worldnetdaily.com), where when attempting to open any article by "wnd" from the home page no text for the artticle appears on the page. If I select "printer-friendly version from the bottom of the page it will show the text. If I highlight the invisable text I can send it to MS Word & view it.

Since I've only come across this problem on the one computer, I'm assuming there is some kind of conflict on that computer with regard to that web site. I've checked every setting that I could think of without being able to resolve the problem. Can anyone give me a clue on resolving the problem??

1. Most web browsers allow you to override colors. Or the display driver is in ... 16 or 256 colors.

2. Spyware. In short this causes calls to everyone they know and claims that it only happens on your web site. After a few dozen calls you get smarter.

On idea #1, how do you change text color?

Onn idea #2, the problem can't be the web site since the text comes through fine on other computers I have used to go that paticular page

1. Browser settings allow control of text colors. I don't teach how to set browser settings. Hope you understand why. Hint: this is a coding and scripting forum and not a beginner's forum.

2. Spyware is today's plague. It could be on one machine and not the other.
