displaying styles from database

style does not stick.

[Scally_Ally]

Hi all,

I am retrieving information from a microsoft access database and displaying it onto a page using asp. I have wrote in one of the fields this line of code.

<span class="style1">whatever..</span>

I expected this to pick up the style1 that i have embedded in the page but it picks up nothing.. Absolutely nothing.

i have tried writing font tags in there and they dont seem to work either. like so

<font size="2" color="#FF00FF">whatever..</font>

that line of code shows a completely different color to the one that it is supposed to be. (turquoise instead of pink).

Does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks

Ally

Hi,

Its definetley pink on my machine, maybe your test system has a bad display?

Really sorry about this...

I forgot to convert the " from what i had it stored in the database back to a ".

This was messing the whole thing up.

I had been looking at the code for hours and then suddenly found the error.

Thanks alot anyway.
