Yellow text showing up on website, but hard to troubleshoot

Issue

We have gotten several emails and phone calls about yellow text appearing on our webpages at http://www.ciu.edu.

We are specifically using a black text in the stylesheet. It is on a tan background.

One person claimed to be color blind and I have tried various tests for colorblindness, but no such luck.

We are at a loss as to what is going on. A yellow text on a tan background would be hard to read, but how to troubleshoot, is the problem.

Solution

Something Bob Kaufman suggested sparked me to download the IE Superpreview from Microsoft. I ran the IE6 view and immediately got my answer. We have basically dumped support of IE6 and had not even tested for it when launching the new website.

The styling of our notification to IE6 users is causing the yellow text on the rest of the pages.

In addition, there was an improper closing of a font tag. Why there was a font tag, I don't know. I didn't write the notice. It was a notice to users of IE less than IE7. At any rate, the problem is now solved, and rewritten in xhtml standard code.
