Re: checking for contrast errors

I occasionally see this kind of behavior when there is a background image which makes the text visible, but without the background image, the text would be hard or impossible to see.

That said, your page seems to have invisible text that's flagged as being poor contrast. Perhaps the method used to hide it isn't what WAVE expects? Or maybe it's being hidden with JavaScript, so WAVE doesn't know it's hidden. It is a little odd, though, that the text is there at all. It's the "has submenu" text so far as I can tell, but something odd happens to it - it's "has submenu" in the HTML, but it changes to " submenu." In the DOM, which makes it even tougher to locate, since " submenu." isn't in the source.
