    Me again with another problem!

    I've still been playing around with my website and just tested it on my tablet and some of the text doesn't appear in the default Android browser but is fine with Firefox and is again fine with all browser on my PC.

    Sorry, I just thought there might be some known issues.

    It is strange as another part using similar code used to work and now it doesn't. :/

    The code is here, it is actually been used on a menu which sucks!:

    If it makes it any easier, here is a link to the website and it is the code on the menu throughout.

    I realise it is all a bit of a mess, I've ripped it apart and redone it all several times now!

    Could be a million things, starting at unclosed tags, ending at z-indexes or thereabouts.

    Most browsers are quite good at "forgiving" mistakes... it's probably something small.

    edit: got the code... will look into it.

    Just a quick look - that menu looks quite mangled in Chrome 31/Win7 as well.

    Ahh ballbags, I hadn't tested Chrome yet. I'll dig out an older version and have a look between the two.

    I hate web ****.

    1) HTML attributes without double quotes in HTML5, not cool
    2) The problem (on Chrome) :
    Code:
    #index_nav {
    line-height: 0;
    }

    Ahh thankyou, I'll have a look at that.

    The double quotes were actually stripped out when I used something to minify the code, and I figured that it may know better than me and they weren't needed. *shrug*.

    I thought I was doing so well too!

    Well technically the quotes are fine to remove when safe, but it is makes your code "unprofessional" :). Especially if you didn't minify whitespace and new lines as well.

    Hah, still a work in progress!

    Thank you for the help, always nice to get pointers and feedback from people who know what they are doing. :)

    Clear cache, or disable it during development which is what I do (you may need an addon to do this)

    Ok thanks chaps, might have a go at fixing this today (I couldn't be bothered for a few days because it has been eating up much of my spare time).

    The HTML still validates nicely on W3C :)
