dynamic text not visible on a mac

[cadwallader]

i have a flash site which brings up text generated from a php script into text boxes on screen which works fine on my pc but the text -which should be white on an orange background is not visible when looking at it on a mac with IE 4.5 -i guess this is either something to do with the colours -its trying to show orange text on an orange background or its one of the many bugs available on ie4.5 for macs
any ideas what it is or how to fix it?

(to see what i'm on about you have to go through the red door and start the process of registering -when it comes back with suggested usernames you will either see them or you wont.)

It is probaby a font issue.
What font are you using? Try including the outlines, or use the "use system fonts" option.

Hope it helps.

Hi psychlonex,
it works with IE5.0.
I think it is the good old "submitting data to a server via the POST http method" bug with IE4.5.
You can read more about it at moock:

Try using GET instead of POST.

yeah, thanks me2222 i think you're right -forgot about that problem -i thought i'd put in a loop to check the variables had been called from the script before continuing, but i hadnt.
