I have a project that connect to a db through some php scripts to display dynamic text from my database. for some reason the text is invisible. when I add a trace the html text shows up in the out put like it should but the text is not visible to the end user.

- I use CS3

Please help

(is there a way to attach zip files?)

I think I may have found the problem. when I strip all the FONT tags out of the html text - the text shows up.

Quick question:
If I can't use the font tag how can I set the color and size of the dynamic text?

NOTE: not all the dynamic text will be the same size or color so I can't just set the text area to a default color and font size.

The font field must be visible because the
theText_txt.htmlText = 'LOADING FROM DATABASE.....';
does show up. It is only when the database text is loaded that I can't see the text?

then check if your textfield is visible (enable its border property) and if that doesn't reveal the issue, check if your font color matches the background color.

do you need to embed your font?
