magical disappearing text!

[Jimmy Turnip]

I have quite a complex css setup with several style sheets so that the site can be rebranded really easily, but for some reason some of the text on the page is magically disappearing in IE when I hit refresh.

My heading text and images do not disappear. If I scroll down and then back up, the magic text reappears! There are no errors in the HTML or style sheet and I don't think there is anything clashing, because that was the first thing I assumed.

My layout is made of divs and all the text is correctly arranged in paragraph tags.

I can't easily post the code, but is this a common problem? If it is, what on earth could be causing it?

Help, please.

This sounds like a known bug in IE. Go to positioniseverything.net [positioniseverything.net] and there's something about it there I think.

Hmmm... that's just ridiculous.

Fixed by making the magical disappearing elements "position:relative;" because they were inside an absolutely positioned element.
