Peek-a-boo Internet Explorer bug
For a long time there has been an issue with displaying this website correctly in Internet Explorer.
The problem is that sometimes text on the frontpage disappears. This happens when there is an article with a picture; the picture would be visible but the corresponding text not. Reloading the page sometimes fixes the problem, also selecting the invisible text with the mouse would make the text readable.
I never knew how to fix this, but today I found a detailed description of the problem, and a number of possible solutions.
I have applied one the easier solutions, and on my Internet Explorer the problem disappeared! I hope this doesn't cause problems on other browsers though, so please let me know if the website doesn't look correctly in your browser anymore.
For the CSS insiders: I've added a line-height: 1.2em;
to the div
that contains the article content.
In the screenshot below you can see Guus Bosman.nl in Internet Explorer 6 before applying the fix.
