430606 - religioustolerance.org - invisible text due to use of table{color:transparent}

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[David Mandelin [:dmandelin]]

The page under "URL" is displayed incorrectly.

On FF3 (latest standard beta) Windows Vista, most of the text on this page does not appear. But when I 'Select All', then I can read the text in the inverted selection colors.

On FF3 (CVS checkout 23 Apr 08)  MacOS 10.5, the text is invisible either way.

On FF2 MacOS 10.5, the page looks right.

The site specifies "color: transparent".  Firefox 2 didn't support it; Firefox 3 does.  The same thing happens in Safari, so I'm pretty sure the site is just broken.

Here's a simple testcase demonstrating the difference between Firefox 2 and Firefox 3:

data:text/html,<p style="color: transparent;">Text</p>


It's odd that Firefox's selection behavior for transparent text differs between Windows and Mac.  Can you file a separate bug report for that?

TE successful.  taoism.html is fixed and the site maintainer is scanning the site for other pages that use the same stylesheet to fix them as well.
