This because we implement color:transparent, as specified in CSS3-Color. [1] The page uses this to make all text in tables transparent: [2]

table        { table-border-color-light: #999999; table-border-color-dark: #000000; color: 
               transparent; border-color: #000000 }

Please contact the website to have that rule removed.
