I resolved the disappearing content issue - my maincontent div in
base.css had an overflow property. I had assigned the value of auto
to this. The overflow property was making the content disappear. I
commented out the overflow and the content now reappears.
Originally my assistant had put the property in there with a value of
"right". Something flagged it for me the other day saying "right" was
not a proper value of overflow so I changed the value to "auto".
That's when the problems occurred. But apparently I'm not
understanding the intent of the overflow property. My assumption is
that if content overflows its element, setting the value at auto
would cause a scrollbar to appear allowing the content to be
accessible. But why would it instead wipe the content out?
Maincontent had no width or height values so technically content
should never overflow the element, correct? Did that therefore cause
the overflow property to make the content disappear?
Thanks for any input to help me clear my head.
