Take a look at a screenshot from my website. See how it looks blank in some places?

That's because I have my link color set to white. The problem is that I have no links there. The screen shot on the right is where my mouse is hovering over the word "family". Apparently a screenshot doesn't include the mouse too.

Anyway, it does this on every page on ANY WEBSITE I visit. And it's getting real annoying.

Clicking on the link takes me to a blank Google page.

Here's a screenshot:

Weird I went to http://globeexterminators.com/ and can see all the missing words just fine and your are correct they are not links.

I think the last line should read Please feel welcomed to call our office for a no charge inspection, evaluation and estimate of services.

But maybe the way it's written is an americanism I've not come across before eg you guys say "write us" whereas in UK and Australia we say "write to us" so maybe the above is a similar sort of thing.

Anyway which browser are you using ?

I tried it in both Firefox and Inernet Explorer and it worked fine.

Yeah you are right about the wording, thanks, lol.

Anyway using IE 6 I think. It does this on EVERY website I go to. I have no idea what it's all about. I have ran adware, spyware and virus scans and nothing works. Can't figure it out.

When I click on InsectId to get to this page http://www.globeexterminators.com/Insectid it looks like the attached and the words only appear if I hover over them.

That's in FireFox but when I plug that URL straight into IE6 it appears fine.

So now I'm wondering if there's something on your first page that is causing something to be set somewhere ?

Oh and by the way none of the links on that page work they all go to http://www.globeexterminators.com/url

And I tried clearing all my caches for both IE and FF and restarted my system and that second page still does the same thing invisible links in FF but visible in IE6.

Most perplexing.

The same thing happens on http://www.globeexterminators.com/pests and http://www.globeexterminators.com/termites in FF but all ok in IE6.

Maybe it's and HTML coding error. I don't know enough about HTML so couldn't say.

No, that's not it because it does this on ANY website that I view.

That's weird that it happened to you though w/ FireFox.

Can't figure this one out.
