The problem of the text not showing on a drop down was caused by a change that i made to css
ul#cssmw0 > li > a, ul#cssmw0 > li > a:link {
background-image: url("../cssmw0_images/menu_bg.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
color: #fff;
display: block;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 120%;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding: 9px 6px 10px 35px;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform:uppercase;
width: 186px;
outline-style: none;
letter-spacing:2px;
}
fixed the problem by changing font-size to 17px.
Still don't know what is triggering the error shown in the screen shot?
