H1 title not appearing 1

[mkrausnick]

The page is:

http://www.st-raymond-dublin.org/index2.shtml.

The first element directly under the <hr> at the top is an <h1> element - "Welcome to St. Raymond Catholic Parish". In IE6, the element does not display (at least not in my browser) but if you swipe the area it's in, it then appears. In FF it appears as it should.

The relevent CSS is:

  .bulletinhead {
    color:black;  
    text-align: left ; 
    font-style: italic; 
    font-family: "Times New Roman", serif ;
   }

1. Can you tell me why this is happening?

2. Comments please on the positioning and operation of the news ticker - this is the new element I added to this page that caused the H1 problem to start happening. The news ticker should appear parallel to the "Most Popular" box but on the far right of the page. I'm curious what will happen if my users don't have Flash installed.

Thanks for your help.

You should remove Hr tag. This is a wild guess.

Try adding position:relative; to the style rule for the bulletinhead class.

I've noticed a similar behaviour with a project I am working on at the moment and adding position:relative; fixes it.

position:relative was just the ticket. Boy, talk about your shots in the dark!

Thanks for the tip - have a star!

By the way, isn't "bulletinhead" rather a violent name to use on a church site?

Mind you, I feel that way when I'm trying to work round IE bugs...

Never thought about it, but looking at in in print... I see what you mean. I usually only feel that way when they make an announcement that some information can be found on the web site when they have neglected to give me the information.
