1175128 2011-02-04 02:03:00 Hi Guys

Hit a bizarre problem, the legends for a fieldset are showing up black in IE9 (my comp) and Blue in IE8 (SWMBOs comp) and white in every other browser i have checked.

They are supposed to be white, when i use IEs developer tools (press f12 to use them if you want), it shows me that the fieldsets are inheriting the colour #fff or white, BUT my IE is displaying it as black, and the wifeys is displaying it as blue, and yes before anyone says it black and blue are the colours IE is going to end up if this doesn't sort itself out.

I have posted on the zencart forum about this and a person there said the legends where showing up white in IE for them. However i would like to get a few more peoples feedback as wifeys machine had never been to the site before, so there is no logical way it shouldn't be showing white as there is no cached files.

Heres the page (www.haeana.co.nz)

Note for those of you who have no idea what i am talking about, the legends are the headings for the little boxes saying thing like

"Returning Customers: Please Log In"

Thanks

It should look white now, I have just added a rule which should fix it.

Although the fact IEs developer tools were telling me the legend was white and it was displaying in black or blue is a bit of a worry, for IEs developer tools that is. It was just a bizarre error, i can normally track errors like this down, but when the developer tools say one thing and the browser shows another, thats just weird

just remove the rule

#loginDefault legend {
color:#fff;
}

and you'll see th bug I was getting
