IE Displaying Different Text Color

[Wittman.C]

Of course IE is displaying the text color of my site in black rather than the grey that I have displaying nicely in Firefox & Chrome.

 

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here? Is there a known bug that I am missing perhaps?

Can you give a link to the online page? Or at least paste all the styles here.

[Wittman.C]

I can't post a link to the page, due to the site being in dev.

 

The style is really long and big, and I have yet to narrow it down to a specific area. I was more or less looking for a known bug.

[Wickham]

I can't think of an IE bug that would cause text to be a different color.

 

If it affects the whole page, look carefully at the body style and then work down through the p tag styles, the h tag styles and containers checking for a style that overides a previous one or a spelling mistake. Sometimes one browser will guess what you want while another doesn't. Check that you have the # before the color code and ; afterwards.

 

color: #eeeeee;

 

Firefox has an add-on that shows all inherited styles for any part of your markup but I don't know the name of it.

Also, I've had trouble before if I have the links in the wrong order. If you already knew this, I apologize for repeating it, but they should be in this order:

 

Link

Visited

Focus

Hover

Active

 

If you need more assistance with this, let us know.

And a good way to remember this is to think about:

I have the same problem sted above. If you can go to http://www.dulfar.com/default.asp, both using google chrome and Internet explorer.

Using IE, you can see the difference between the background color of the top left image. In google chrome you can't!!!

 

How can i solve this?

 

Thanks

The small image on the left is a png but the wider image is a jpg. It's possible that IE is processing them differently.

 

Can you make them both jpg and check?
