Please read everything before replying.

$res = '<tr><td valign=top width=100% bgcolor=\"312D37\" colspan=3><b>Basic Information</b>'.CR.

How I make it so that the page will make that td that colour? I`ve tried the following several different ways:

bgcolor=\"312D37\"

bgcolor="312D37"

bgcolor='312D37'

bgcolor=312D37

bgcolor=\"#312D37\" (edit 1:27pm)

Is there anything that will make it made that td that colour that I want it to be? The result I get with all of those is no colour. I know html, the html is not working here. I`m figuring it has to do with it being within php coding. This bgcolor code works on all the other pages of mine I have except this one.

http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/bgcolor.php

bgcolor=\"#312D37\"

should be in html forum.

http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/bgcolor.php

bgcolor=\"#312D37\"

should be in html forum.

I know html. The problem is it`s INSIDE php. The regular html coding is not working. The code you just gave me didn`t work either.

Crap, meant to make this a modified post to the first one...

HTML is HTML whether it's inside or outside. The only difference is the escaping of the quotes.

Even though you can get away with leaving out the # sign in your hex color code it's best to remain with strict HTML coding policies and include it. The browser wars are still raging.

Personally I like using double quotes (" " ) for surrounding the code and singles quotes within. That way I don't have to escape them:

$res = "<tr><td valign=top width=100% bgcolor='#312D37' colspan=3><b>Basic Information</b></td></tr>";

The page went blank & gave an error message when I converted the quotations.

Here, let me post the entire file`s coding, maybe something else in it will be helpful in figuring out why the one piece of html is not working:

ever try

style="background-color:#312D37"

djfox · March 1, 2007

every try

style="background-color:#312D37"

Damn, that didn`t work either.

It`s bothering me cuz I see the section for Biography where that bgcolor is working. I even copied that line to where Basic Information is, & that still didn`t work.

I don`t understand why it works for Biography & not Basic Information.

weird question... sure you're uploading correctly :X? check the source to see if the changes are going through? I'm not insulting your intelligence, just eliminating the possibilities.

Yep, the changes are being sent through.

Oh, you didn't put a table tag before that row... that'd do it

Ah thank you very much! That did the trick!
