<![CDATA[Invisible text]]>Opera 12.17 1863 I often get invisible text that can be read only by highlighting or by forcing use of my own style sheet. I've disabled all extensions. What else can I change?

That was always a problem in past with some sites.

In Opers:config I jiggled the colors and seem to have solved my problem. I now see a WHITE background. (what happens to a page with white text remains to be seen.)

Here is a page of my own which is ok in other browsers but has invisible text (unless highlighted) http://frontal-lobe.info/bph/bphdrugs.html

I have experimented with Style Options. The text becomes visible if I impose a style such as Opera's own Accessibility option.

What's wrong with my Opera 12.17--1863 in XP 32bit ???

The high-contrast "important" style is necessary to see most of the text here:

IF I know there is hidden text, I can highlight and see it. IF I know.

Are you sure you're in "author mode" in Tools>Preference Settings>Advanced>Content>Style Options?
Make sure you haven't got that over-ridden in site preferences.

The problem remains unless I always use that Opera imposition on style.

Here is a page on which most of the text is invisible unless highlighted:

http://www.cslb.ca.gov/GeneralInformation/About/BasicFactsAboutCslb.asp

"Anyone performing construction work etc etc" is invisible but can be highlighted.

My .css changes the background to white, making the text visible -- with author formatting.

My fonts style has no effect.

Other than that ... I'd need to see an example.
