I have launched a new site, the second I have produced with Cute HTML.
It's proven to be a very logical and stable piece of software, but today seems to have done a wobbly...
Minutes before launch, my nice green Home Page background colour disappeared from screen and was replaced by a white background. Another page has gone half green and half white! The script was also reduced to Times Roman.
I may have touched something by mistake, but cannot rectify the colour error.
My other site uses the same background colour coding:
<body bgcolor='' “>
at the beginning of the body text, but a different colour.
Please can you tell me how I over-ride all other instructions on a page and re-instate a background colour?
Regards,
Scott
are you using a style sheet?
Quite honestly, I wouldn't know what a style sheet was if it came round for dinner. No seriously, as a learner, I have copied the coding from a page I liked and then edited out the stuff I don't want/simplified it to the bare bones.
I honestly don't think there is any special layout features there. As I explained, it was all okay one moment and then went pear-shaped the next!
Regards,
Scott
<body bgcolor="green">Perhaps you could show us a bit of your code. Just remove the particulars like keywords, description and site name, etc., and post your headers up through the <body> tag.
God, HTML is so logical! I finally cracked the issue by loooking at my live source coding. I had no idea errors showed up in red - you learn something.....
So, instead of <body bgcolor='#99CC00'>
I had written
<body bgcolor=''#99CC00''>
It was that simple!
I really must find the time to read up on HTML and really learn how too write it rather than get into a tizwoz about such logical issues and experiment in the dark.
Thanks for your support!
