That sets the colours on the wrapper. I think that regardless of what
causes the problem, you can still make him see the text by setting the
same colours to the <p> elements as well.
Unless it's caused by position:relative on something that has
background-color, then you might need to give the <p> elements
position:relative too to make them appear 'in front of' its parent.
I've seen entire images disappear because of position:relative on a
(grand-)parent, and only got them to re-appear by giving them
position:relative as well...

Do you know on what OS he is? I've noticed in the past that identical
browsers give different results between for instance XP and 2000.

It's IE6 - validating won't help ;-)
