When I view source on the home page, it appears that the section you quoted is commented out in Firefox. (Screen shot #1) You should not see it in light text -- you shouldn't see it at all!

The other page looks normal to me. (Screen shot #2) Try bypassing the cache: use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server (including linked assets like external script and style sheet files). Does it lay out any better?


Are you using the standard link colors, blue for unvisited and purple for visited? You can check your link colors in the Options page here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Optsion > Content > "Colors" button

If the colors are blanked out, do you use a "High Contrast" theme in Windows? This affects Firefox's ability to display this dialog correctly. Temporarily change the "Override" setting to Never and OK, then go back into Colors and you should be able to see what is set for links.

I don't see anything wrong with that link. What is the problem -- it just displays as plain text, or Firefox does not treat it as a link?

Which page is the link on?

more options

The link does not show up on the web page (on my page it is now showing as very light text). The URL is http://www.koc-6125.org/default.html

Also if you go to the Becoming a Knight Page, in the middle it has call our chairmen, the name should be where the blank space is, if you scroll you can then click and the name appears.

My problem was with my color settings. I changed and all is being displayed properly now. I'm new on this site so did not know how to insert screen image. The uploaded image below show my new settings.

I really don't understand why I need the contract option but is I use always I lose other parts of my page.

Anyway, thanks for your help!!!
