Why doesn't my text display?
Posted on 2012-12-27
I am trying to understand why text is not displaying correctly. I have created a test page that illustrates my problem. This can be viewed at: Test Page
Each of the 4 squares should display the word 'Text' at the top. The only difference is that the 2 boxes on the right do not have a background color set in the style and the two on the left do. I do not understand why the text 'Title' is not being displayed in the first box.
Any help that you can provide me that explains what I am doing wrong is very much appreciated.
Here is the code that is being used to display the page:
