CSS style sheet error?

[Gemini23]

Hi, I believe that this may be a CSS style sheet error... any advice would be most welcome. I use Microsoft Expression Web 2 and using a Dynamic Web Template. The 'problem' arises when I load a page from my website and for a split second a line of text that is at the bottom of the DWT gets displayed for a 'split second' at the top part of the screen over the top of the correct text and then the web page shows correctly. This doesn't seem to occur once I have visited the page and I guess is then in the cached files. I only noticed the problem when visiting my website from another computer. The web pages are W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional. The style type is text/CSS.
Has anyone any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks :)

First stop should be to validate. Have you done that yet? There is a thread pinned to the top of the CSS forum titled CSS Troubleshooting refresher [webmasterworld.com] that may prove helpful as well.

Hi coopster.. the pages are WC3 validated with zero errors...

Hi again, the pages are WC3 and CSS validated...

Isn't this the same as you already asked in the html forum [webmasterworld.com] ?

Hi, I have now managed to resolve this.. using an external CSS style sheet. Many thanks for advice given.
