Label appears in IE but not Chrome? - html

Question

I'm working on a website that displays a lot of products in little cards so they all appear in the same format. However, some of the products are displaying in Chrome without their prices, I've checked in other browsers and the issue is only in Chrome.
This is taken from Internet Explorer and shows what the product cards should look like.
And this is the same product in Chrome:
Very helpfully displaying a cost of not there.
HTML - The label in question is lblProductPrice

VB.Net - I've tried setting the value for lblProductPrice before, after and in the if/else statement, and it makes no difference to either browser.
'Show Product Savings even if discount level on login
If dr("SELLPRICE9") > 0 And dr("pListPrice") = 0 Then
If ((dr("SELLPRICE9")) - dr(c.GetPriceLevel())) > ((dr("SELLPRICE1")) - dr(c.GetPriceLevel())) Then
'lblProductPrice.Text = "$" + FormatNumber(dr(c.GetPriceLevel()), 2)
'lblProductPrice.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
lblListPrice.Font.Strikeout = True
lblWas.Text = "RRP "
lblWas.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red

Edit
The page in question is our landing page, and it displays a randomly ordered selection of about 30 products (from an SQL table generated by my boss some time ago).
Here are two products side by side:
This is what's confusing me, both products display almost all the same fields. Both have the instock tick, free delivery splotch, and an exta info label underneath. But on has a price and the other doesn't. Is this likely to be a server side problem? The items in question display correctly on every other page.

Answer 1

This is a bit of a guess, but I looked closely at the markup in your HTML, and there is a lone </strong> tag after your hlProductTitle hyperlink:
<div class="gallery-product-title">
<a id="ContentPlaceHolder1_dlFeaturedProducts_hlProductTitle_15" href="Computers/Cables-(Ready-Made)/DVI-HDMI-Cables/Product-Specification-CB30202.aspx">2m HDMI V1.4 Cable</a>
</strong> <!-- <<<== HERE IT IS (I added the newline before it)
</div>
Because there is no matching opening <strong> tag, browsers will try to "fix" this by adding one for you, doing their best guess as to where it should go. Different browsers make different guesses, which could account for why you see a difference. Evidence to support my theory (and a clue for you for next time) is that in your screenshot from IE, the product title is bold, whereas in the Chrome screenshot it is not. Meaning, I believe, that IE is deciding to put the opening <strong> tag before the product heading, and Chrome is putting it goodness-knows-where.
Try adding the matching <strong> tag before the product title tag, and see if that resolves your issue.
