12 replies
I'm helping my friend create this blog.
I noticed the text is white when I bring it up
in IE but in FireFox it is fine.

What do you see in IE

NorthernQuestMysteries.com Welcome to NorthernQuest Mysteries!

    Its white for me too. If I didn't know the text was there I would simply click off the site and never look further.

      In the future, you should consider using Browsershots to test the compatibility of your web design on other browsers. It works fantastic!

        In the style sheet is this section:
        Code:
        /* - -  Paragraphs and List Items - - */
        
        p, li, {
        	font-size: 100%;
        	font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;
        	color: #FFFFFF;
        }
        It's being ignored by FF because of an error (the comma after li), but IE is ignoring the error and generating the text as white.

        You need to change it to this:
        Code:
        /* - -  Paragraphs and List Items - - */
        
        p, li {
        	font-size: 100%;
        	font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;
        	color: #000000;
        }
        Remove the comma and change the text color to black.

            Something strange happening now, every time my friend types in the domain
            name of this site some virus activates, it happened on my computer

            the site would come up, but I would not be able to click on any links on the site,
            I ran malwarebytes and it is gone, but my friend can't get rid of it on his computer
            when he accesses northernquestmysteriesdotcom

            he thinks the virus is

            qbotinj.exe

            are you able to access northernquestmysteries.com ok

            thanks
