IE non-visible text bug

example inside

[Squareball]

In IE6 the text renders but is not visible. In mozilla the text renders and is visible.

The problem is seen when this line is added

<div style="clear:right"></div>

The ways around this bug are to remove the background-color style to the container div. This is not an option in the real-world code that I ran into this problem on.

Anyways, all the styles are in that .html page, check it out, let me know if you have encountered this bug ever and how you worked around it.

ON the last site we did, we were able to just remove the background color, but this time we can't.

BTW, this page is just a quick example showing the error. The actual page has tons of elements so I just threw this together so that the problem could be narrowed down and easily read.

I have found a fix.. if you remove the div's padding: it renders correctly. Weird!

I have had problems like this. Some of them dissapeared when I used "position:relative" on the divs that dissapeared
