CSS for SEO - can search engine see the text in the body?

[tomchu]

We use CSS to arranging (absolute positioning) our content to makes it easier to crawl.

I am using your On-Page Keyword Optimization tool and other tools to check our pages (i.e. http://www.psprint.com/gallery/invitation-cards), to make sure it works.

For the “On-Page Keyword Optimization” tool, it gives a petty good grade (I guest it sees the text in the body).

However, when I am using other tool to test the page (e.g. http://tools.seobook.com/general/spider-test/) it could not see the text in the body.

Did we do something wrong?

Thanks

Tom

There might be an open ended tag somewhere that is causing the program to choke. Can you provide a link?

I just copied the html and threw it into PhpEd and noticed right off the bat you are missing a quotation for the gb_styles.css

I am new to PhpEd, Is there a function you used to spot this error?

Thanks

Not a function, and I didn't mean to state that you had to use PhpED to see the problem, just pointing out how I did find it.

With any page loaded, on the right hand side you will see a handful of tabs, next to that is a pinkish bar that will have a Red circle, indicating that there is an issue.
