disappearing text

is this a CSS problem?

[what_the]

I have a site based on tableless CSS, in templates It does use a dropdown javascript menu with fixed widths, but everything else is fluid and proportional.

Some of the body text keeps disappearing on some (seemingly ad hoc) pages. That is, when the page is loaded in the browser on our test server, you can't see the black text until you either refresh or highlight the area.

Bfore I post any code, does anyone know if this problem is a common CSS bug?

It may be non-CSS related, but the only difference between this site and others we've done is the use of CSS for layout.

welcome to webmaster world!

first thing is to find out what browser you are using to test the pages with...

Usually this happens on CSS layouts when you have a layer overwrite your text, or text hidden beneath a layer.

Are you using absolute positioning or floats? These are common culprits.
