Stacked text problem, All lines of text on our site have stacked on top of one another Options

I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but suddenly all of the text on the page has stacked up on top of one another. I've seen this happen to another user before, just wondering if it's a bug with the service or if it is a problem I could fix with the coding of the page. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I don't see the "text stacking" you described, but I recommend that you start by fixing as many of the markup errors and CSS errors as myspace will let you fix.

Ok, it appears that this is only happening with Firefox, any ideas on how to make it work with Firefox?

FWIW, I'm using FF2.

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "text stacking"? The main thing I notice is that your content seems to be positioned along the left edge of the browser window, but your background image is centered.

Example, there is a bio paragraph, and all of the lines of text are on top of each other, on one line, so it is illegible.
I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3 and this is happening. Opened in Safari, and everything appears fine.

Possibly it's a bug. Moz had problems with duplicated text before. It doesn't happen either in FF 2.0.0.2 or 1.5, but I do see in in a K-Mel that's based on a gecko somewhere between those two.

Here's what it looks like. It goes away when the text is selected.

That looks like the line-height is much too small, like the

CODE

body {
font-size : 1px;
line-height : 1px;
...
}

is being used for line-height, but something is overriding the font-size.

Could be, but it's odd it doesn't show in all geckos.

Darin is probably right. Take a look in Opera. It's even worse.

[Darin McGrew]

I've seen other style sheets that set bogus property values for body with the intention to "fix" them elsewhere, but this is the worst example of this trend that I can remember.

[pandy]

Gosh, I didn't notice the code you posted before. What's the point of doing that? Do people think properties need to be "declared"?

I still think it's odd it only shows in some versions of gecko.
