I've run into a problem with a page I'm setting up when checking it across different browsers. The page works fine in FF and Safari, but not in IE.

The pages are loaded in modal windows and for some reason the text doesn't show past the first <h1>. When the content is loaded outside of a modal window, the text shows, but the picture cuts off.

If you view this page and click any of the "Meet XXX" links, you can see what I mean:
http://www.foothillsbaptist.org/_NEW/staff.php

And same thing when loading it separately here:
http://www.foothillsbaptist.org/_NEW.../staff/jay.php

Any advice is appreciated... thanks!

Try setting a color to the to the greybox.css on the box id

#box {
    background-image: url(../images/css/three_gradient.jpg); 
    background-repeat: repeat-x;        
    color:#000000;    
    }

Also put your text in paragraph tags and give your image a height and width.

<img src="../../images/staff/jennifer_gressett.gif" height="230px" width="230px">

Try using firefox or safari as your only browsers, they will work out better for you.

What a ridiculous suggestion. The WORLD uses more than those browsers, and a website is NOT about YOU, it's about your VISITORS!

Anyone who has ever tried to code HTML agrees with your statement -- but as LadynRed said, it's just not in the cards.

I tried both your suggestions and got some odd results. Setting a color didn't seem to do anything and neither did setting the height and width.

I did notice another odd bug... that when looking at the page in the modal window, you only see the person's name and picture, but if you right click on the picture and view the properties, then close the properties window, the text appears and the picture shortens to a sliver -- basically reverting to the appearance of viewing the page standalone and not in the modal window.

I'm doing all the debugging on just one of the pages, jay.php -- or the top right box and "meet jay".

I'm pretty perplexed by what's going on... if anyone has an idea, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I figured it out...

The problem seemed to lay with the <h1> and <h2> tags... I replaced them with <span> classes and it works now.

Thanks for the help
