i am not a developer but i am having a problem similar to this but it will not show. here is the pages in reference.

http://optimumos.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=41
If you highlight the entire page, the prices will show above the “Buy Now” button. However i can’t get them to show at all. I am using firefox and IE and it shows in none of them.

the sencond page:
http://optimumos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41&products_id=7756

if you highlight the page you’ll notice that the Product name will show otherwise i’ve got nothing. Can anyone help. Keep in mind im not a developer mine just can’t fix the problem. he thinks “something to do with javascript and wrong css”

I have a similar problem in my website( revistapadurilor.ro ). My solution beats all: in my php script i detect the brower and if it is MS IE i print a _ BEFORE the tag. [code] $known = array('msie', 'firefox', 'safari', 'webkit', 'opera', 'netscape', 'konqueror', 'gecko'); preg_match_all('#(?' . join('|', $known) . ')[/ ]+(?[0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?)#',strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']),$browser); if($browser['browser'][0]=='msie') print('_'); ... [/code]

you can give a minimum width

min-width:1px;

it will trigger the “hasLayout” propery and show the text.
