mike12255 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So I have a css(will show below) that should be making text to be white. Here is my css. <!--- body { a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none} font-family:Verdana, Sans-serif; color; #000000; font-size: 12px } input,textarea, select,{ color : #000000; font: normal 12px; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000000; } img{ border:0; } .maintable {border: 0px ; width: 100%; padding: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF} /*main table for forum*/ .regrow {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; background-color: #FFFFFF;font-size: 12px;} /*registration row, mainly here for symetry*/ .headline {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif;font-weight: bold;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #003366;font-size: 11px;} /*headline row, the first row that says forum name, topics, posts and such*/ .forumrow {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif; color: #000000;background-color: #F2F2F2;font-size: 12px;} /*color of the forum rows*/ .mainrow a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none;} .mainrow {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif; color: #000000;background-color: #F2F2F2;font-size: 12px; a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none}} /*color of the forum rows*/ .maintables{background-color: #FFFFFF; width: 85%; padding: 0px; border: 3px solid; cellspacing: no} /*main table for forum*/ ---> Know the text appears brown (as can be seen at http://schoolworkanswers.com/math.php ) I think it must be something to do with the setting up of the tables in my math.php file. Ill include the entire file, and then point out the part that deals with it. Entire file: <?php include "connect.php"; //mysql db connection here $area = "math";?> <html> <head> <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" --> <title>School Work Answers</title> <!--

marcus Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Could just set a CSS class and use that for each. .white { color:#FFF; } <td class="white">dasd</td> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike12255 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 i use this css on a couple diffrent pages though so i kind of want to figure out whats wrong, it would make things easier. the main problem with just setting it to white manually is i want everyhng else .headline {font-family: Verdana,Sans-serif;font-weight: bold;color: white; background-color: #003366;font-size: 11px;} and to go through and manually set all them to that could take a while.

haku Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 So I have a css(will show below) that should be making text to be white. Here is my css. Nothing in that CSS will set the text color to white. You have set it to black in a lot of spots though. And you have set the background of a couple things to be white. But you didn't set any white text anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadiadiph Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 firstly here font-family:Verdana, Sans-serif; color; #000000; font-size: 12px is wrong it is color: not color; secondly your color for text seems to be #000000 which is black white is #ffffff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackpf Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I saw it aswell, in the body, you have set color; #00000; you've used a semicolon instead of a colon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
