Icons for Browser Links missing

I use firefox 5.0 and windows XP on the desktop computer Dell XPS 410 . I noticed on certain websites, the Icons for the browser links are missing. I have to move my cursor around to find them. When I see the pointing hand I know I found a link.
I have tried internet explorer 8, and I get the same problem.

Some one told me I need to install Adobe Flash Player. I done that, and I still have the problem.

I also have a laptop, and it has no problem displaying the Icons. So I know they are there.

 

Website www.shopshield.net. All the icons at the top are not showing. One of the links at top right is the apply link. [that is to apply for the service.]:confused

 

HI,

Thanks for your reply. I am glad you see the links. I do not see those links when I use Firefox. The links I am referring to are "Home" "free trial" "how we protect You" etc. So my question is what is wrong with my settings, that I do not see them?

 

Greetings, bill071...

Interesting problem...

I'm on a mchine that can't run FF at the moment, but here are a couple of ideas: could this be a link color thing? The fact that the 'hand' shows up means the a-link is there, but maybe your link color settings are the same as the background...

If it's not a specific browser problem, maybe something is somehow planting a style sheet...try this: click View, Page Source (or right-click on the page and select View Page Source) - see if there are any weird CSS color entries in the head of the document...

Just grabbin' at straws...

 

i'm under XP and FF 3.5.5 and i DO see them. they don't appear to be java links so has me stumped, too...unless you have the NoScript addon & it's interfering (only a guess cuz i don't have that addon, either).

like Caliban mentioned, regarding link/hover color...also check to see that you aren't overriding the website's font style with what you've chosen.

FF theme addon Personas can really mess up how links appear (or don't appear at all). i tried it & it really did mess with some link colors (made them invisible). change your Persona theme to see if that cures it; you can always make your own theme.

 

Her is the HTML source. I do see scripts and .css files. I don't know enough about this to know if there are any problems with this code.



I do not see run a noscript add-on. My font colors and background are different. I do not run linux, I am running Firefox.

The words are missing, but the links are there. By moving my cursor, I can find the links.

 

I did...there are obviously browser-specific lines in the HTML for that page ("if lte IE 6"), which is probably not the problem, and there is also a link to a style sheet ("css/index.css"), which, from what I can tell, contains nothing that could cause this problem...

There are, however, links to javascript files that are handling the drop-down menus, and this could be the source of the trouble, Bill, if somewhing is awry in your Firefox java-handling...

 

No problem, plodr - just didn't want to get lost in the shuffle...

I swear, I've seen this type of problem before, but I cannot seem to remember the solution...strange...

Bill, if you do happen to stumble across a fix, I sure would like for you to share the info...
