Strange situation - Invisible Text on a Page

Permalink
My client's website was displaying a block of text twice. It was one line title (h3).

When she logged in to remove the extra title, only one was showing. While logged in to the site, only one is visible.

Upon logging out, there are 2 titles again. One is invisible when logged in to edit the site. Any clue how this could be???

I cleared the cache to see if that was the issue. Still see 2 of them when logged out, but only one when logged in ... really strange!

Help!

Text is "Protective Services" about half way down the page ... Webpage -http://usaaa17.org/contact-us/staff-directory/...

It does show as two entries on a table when viewed with Chrome developer tools.
Have you tried viewing the HTML pane when you have that block in edit mode? It may show as an extra line there that can be deleted.

Didn't think to do that ... but it's not there ... in fact the headers are not part of the table. I checked all the blocks around it just to be sure.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I just did a source view and I see two <h3> tags

<h3>Protective Services</h3><h3>Protective Services</h3><table style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellspacing="5">

It renders that way consistently in Chrome and FireFox - my IE is currently having issues courtesy of Adobe.

I could only guess that is it in the source page (block)that way.

I should add that I have experienced time where chrome will not draw part of a table when scrolling up from the bottom of the page. Not sure it is relative to this case. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

I do know it's in the view source ... and have seen it there also. The problem is when in Edit Mode, we don't see the second instance at all, in the blocks themselves OR on the live page. The second one is only visible after signing out.

Technically, I can delete the one block that we do see, but then the one that isn't visible in edit mode can't be changed or seen when in edit mode.

And if it happened once, it could happen again. I need to figure out the why and fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion, though ...

I have seen this behavior before when two editable areas have the same name, check your template does not have areas with the same name..

I'm sure that's not it as the template is used on multiple pages and this is just in the middle of the page ... it's not even in a stack, just the actual contact lists are in stacks!

Thanks for the tip. I have seen that too!
