Hmm, that sounds familiar....
You would be using InternetExplorer no?

I have seen this 'invisible' text happening when a website is coded as
valid XHTML 1.0 and viewed in IE5.5/6.
I would guess that yahoo are using XHTML with <DIV> tags (the XML
equivalent of the deprecated <P> tags) to display their page properly
according to the RFC standards.

... similar to how IE handled XHTML <BUTTON> objects, but not definitive

Have you noticed:
Objects overlapping they shouldn't?
Have coloured borders where they shouldn't?
Objects wrapping when they shouldn't?
Failing to wrap when they should?
Fonts seem overly large for the space the text is meant to occupy?
Gradient rainbows of color appearing as a few solid blocks?
Background images forming tiles when you expect a strech would do?
Scrollbars on display where you would not expect them?
Objects missing from pages?
... only to reappear at random during scrolling?
... or after changing to another program window for a second?
Page re-arrange itself while you scroll?
Your computer crashing when you load a web page?

Try another web browser ...
