Text problem in Firefox
I have text on web pages that is layered over other text making it illegible. Up until now it has just been annoying but today I was unable to register at a site because the text was layered over a data box. When I switched to IE everything was fine. Help.

1. Are you increasing text size?
When I zoom my text size, that happens to me on certain sites with frames.

3. Many websites use non-standard (IE) markup...
Many times webmasters will only check their webs on IE. I know of at least one BANK that REQUIRES IE for their online banking...

To confirm that it's the webpage's fault, feed the URL to:

http://validator.w3.org/

Which is the official HTML validator, and let us know what comes up!

4. This page is not Valid HTML 4.0 Transitional!
Ah HA! It was the Verizon account sign in page. Couldn't sign to my account. I have the "view in IE" plugin for Fox so I did get in. Think I'll bookmark that page for further reference. Thanks.
