Link & URL colors not working properly

[Adam_C]

I've just tried another color combination and its not displaying properly... purple link text on a grey background displays as black on grey.

Anyone see anything wrong with this?

google_color_border = "999999";
google_color_bg = "999999";
google_color_link = "996699";
google_color_url = "FF9933";
google_color_text = "FFFFFF";

Try a pound sign before each color.

You have "FFFFFF"

Try using "#FFFFFF"

The HTML and CSS will not validate using your current syntax. I recommend using correct syntax.

Hope that helps, WFN

I believe Google will override your color choices if the text and background colors are too close. Haven't seen this in action, so maybe someone else can confirm.

P.S. I wouldn't "correct" the Javascript code Google provides you with. The code you posted isn't HTML or CSS anyway.
