On this (http://aneesah.pixelled.com/eid) blog entry of mine, IE sort of jumbles up, takes away the style, and made some words disappear in parts of it. For instance, around this part:

I also made a (flat, not stuffed) squirrel, a hair scrunchie, a little misshapened container-thing, and that’s about

and this:

Oh, and yeah — I’m almost 17 years old! Less than a month to go. I’ve been thinking of maybe buying my own domain and hosting (and perhaps ask my father to pay, haha) for my....

The font looks like Times New Roman until I highlight it, but when I un-highlight it goes back to Times New Roman.

As for the disappearing words part, there are parts missing around here:

And this brings me to something I’ve wondered for a while — will we be blogging forever, until we die? Right now, most blogs and personal sites are owned by teenagers and 20-something adults, but will we all continue blogging and writing about our lives as we grow?

I think the disappearing has to do with the width, but the highlight thing...?

It's almost like a bug discussed here (http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/57305), only there's no 3 divs, and the text isn't hidden, just un-styled. The solutions posted there (height:1%, zoom:100%, display:inline-block) didn't work when I tried it on the #content div.

There's no problem in Firefox or Opera. Need I say it? IE is a pain.

It looks fine to me in IE. Maybe try clearing your cache?

Have you figured it out? It looks perfect to me in IE.

Pretty blog, btw :D

Already cleared the cache. Maybe yours is a different version?

Here's a screenshot of the jumbled-up, no styled text:

The smilies somehow overlap the text, too.

Maybe your's is a different version?

I have version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Which version do you have?

The exact same version! =/

So there really is no disappearing words or anything? Nothing like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/Aneesah/screenshot2.jpg at the end of the entry?

That is so weird.

Now I have to worry about my computer! My virus subscription has ended too, oh great. -_-;

But thanks, Monkey Bizzle, and Allie. =)
