Flexslider search form disappears

I have a problem which I can’t replicate, but it seems few clients keep reporting the issue.

Error is on Chrome v42 with 1280x720 res (probably few others). Welcome Home text appears in the VERY beginning and disappears once page is fully loaded. Live URL is here:

It is really hard to fix it if we can’t replicate it even with same chrome version and resolution.

Do you know what platform it’s happening on? I also can’t replicate on Mac.

Windows 8 and 7.

Looks ok in Chrome 43 (PC) and I can’t replicate the problem either.

There are some html errors in the page but I doubt they are interfering with the slider. However it would be a good idea to eliminate all the html errors first anyway.

From the screenshot it looks as though the slider has frozen between transitions as you can see 2 or more images overlaid (unless that was just when the screenshot was taken of course).

Unfortunately unless someone can replicate the problem it will be almost impossible to fix. Usually I would start by stripping things out to see if they have an effect but that means you would have to check with the client who sees the broken page to see if anything changed.

The first thing I would try is to adjust the z-index of those elements to make sure text is on top.

e.g.

.bh-slider{z-index:0}
.bh-slider-navbar,
.bh-caption{z-index:2;position:relative}

If that doesn’t work I notice that .bh_caption is display:table and some older browsers didn’t like position:relative on table elements so maybe wrap a new div around that element and set position:relative; z-index:2 and a height of 100%.

Thanks Paul. I played with z-index and had more problems with other area. Calendar and guest search would go under navbar even with their z-index higher. I am at the point to remove flexslider completely and go with possibly better slider solution.

Yes sometimes its better to cut your losses and go with something else if debugging is too hard.

It’s almost impossible to debug when you can’t see the problem occurring.
