disappearing text in IE on a PC

Except for missing ALT tags on images, this site validates, yet I get
some strange disappearing text in IE on a PC. Check out this page:
http://www.alexmarshall.org/index.php?pageId=50
At the bottom of the middle box is the text "Categories : About my
book", which shows up normally in FireFox, but which disappears in IE.
Why so?

It's a peek-a-boo bug, and you have more of those than just that one.
Scroll down, and hover over 'printer friendly'. You'll see the third
column get cut off. Then hover over 'you can buy it from Amazon.com'
in the third column, and you'll see it come back.

Peek-a-boo bugs in IE are caused by how you use floats and clear
properties, but there are solutions to most of them.
Google for IE peek-a-boo.
I would have given you a link to the IE section of
"positionisever ything.net", but it seems they have swapped their free
to read articles for a members only system.

Great, thanks - I didn't remember that url and just went to the main
page, and tried several links, the one I found and thought was it, was
this one: <http://www.positionise verything.net/ie-primer.html>
As it looked similar to the url you just gave, I thought the page had
changed. Most of the links on that page go to communitymx.com .

I'll now bookmark the /explorer.html link, thanks :-)

I meant only that the lack of validation didn't seem relevant to the
problem.

I apologize for the length of the page below, but I've tried to whittle it down as much as I can. The problem is that Netscape 6.1 on my Win 2K Pro machine is disappearing the final row of the table. Opera 7.01 and IE 5 and 5.5 are both OK with the page, and the offending line is right before the commented out alert line, but I have been unable to figure why it's happening. Thanks,

My web page has one unordered list that disappears in Firefox. The unordered list in question has the class="dir". I double-checked the source code and verified the markup's semantics. Everything looked fine. So I placed the code in the W3C validator and it passed with no errors. Then I placed a regular unordered list with no class before the previous unordered list. Upon a reload, the new unordered list did not render, yet the unordered...

I built a form to access a query with a 2 field primary key. It should use 2 controls to find the unique record and display the other field values on the form. In the criteria section of the query, I set the 2 primary key values equal to the 2 control values on my form. When I input a value to these 2 controls the query finds the correct record, so I know my query with the criteria works. My problem is trying to get the output values...

Here is my scenario: I have a few custom controls that I set up on a form and tested setting properties and appearances.

After adding those references, and no other changes to my form.... all the controls disappear from the visual interface on the...

I have read many threads which indicate that this was a problem with version 2002. Why should i be suffering this? I am using VB.NET 2003 Standard Edition... is it still a problem with 2003? I have used the wizards to generate the connection and adapter, which generates the code in 'InitializeComponent', and i have stored the connection string within web.config and it seems to get rid of this

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
