html text color question?

Catt · Mar 19, 2005

If I'm typing in text in html and it turns brown and stays brown when I'm
done, does that mean that it is inherently wrong? I notice that all other
text is either black, blue or grayed out (if its marked as invisibile, like
counters).
Thanks, Catt

Murray · Mar 19, 2005

does that mean that it is inherently wrong?

No.

Can you show me the code for the discolored text, and include about 10 lines
of code on either site as context?

Catt · Mar 19, 2005

Hi, here is the text
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Shared Left Border</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="none">
</head>

<body>

<p align="left" style="text-indent: 4">

</p>

<p align="center" style="text-indent: 4">
<script
type="text/javascript">TrustLogo("/images/secure_site.gif","SC,"none");</script>

<img border="0" src="../cat_secure_site.gif" width="110" height="104"></p>

<p align="left" style="text-indent: 4">

</p>

<p align="left" style="text-indent: 4">

</p>

</body></html>
From the capital T in TrustLogo to the semi colon (

are browned out (it
might be red ) in FP2002.
When I put this script in my left hand shared border disappears and the web
will not show up in "Navigation" view.
Thanks,C

When I put this script in my left hand shared border disappears and the

web
will not show up in "Navigation" view.

Well, yeah. Where did you get this "script" and what is it intended to do?

Catt · Mar 19, 2005

Murray:
Here is where I got it...
To insert the trustlogo just drop the following code into your pages where
you want the logo to appear. Since we aren't your web designers this is left
up to you to decide on. But it is easy.
In the head area of your pages put this:
<script
language="JavaScript"scr="https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
Then in the location you want the logo to appear put this:
<script
type="text/javascript">TrustLogo("images/secure_site.gif","SC","none");</script>
Upload the image secure_site.gif into your /images folder if you have one.
There it all is. The .gif is in my image folder.
From Thomas Rowe I received this:
"You have to insert the part of the script that goes into the head section,
after the <body> tag in
the Left Shared Border page in the _border folder."
So this is where I am. Obviously I'm doing something wrong , it's got to be
me. Can you tell me what it is?

Murray · Mar 19, 2005

So - you didn't follow all the directions (and, in fairness, they contained
a serious typo), then.

In your page, change -

</head>

to -

<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js"></script>
</head>

and then insert the other part of the script into the body of your page,
e.g.,

<p align="center" style="text-indent: 4">
<script
type="text/javascript">TrustLogo("/images/secure_site.gif","SC,"none");</script>

That should work for you.

By the way - if you want this text to indent, you will have to put some
units on that "4" - is it weeks, or yards, or pixels, or what?

<p align="left" style="text-indent: 4">

Thomas A. Rowe · Mar 19, 2005

Make sure the script after inserting look like the following, especially the spaces, pasted into
Notepad, then into FP, in HTML/Code View:

<script language="JavaScript" scr="https://secure.comodo.net/trustlogo/javascript/trustlogo.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">TrustLogo("images/secure_site.gif","SC","none");</script>

That has the same typo, Thomas -

SRC, not SCR. And you don't need the language declaration. Also make sure
that there is a space after trustlogo.js"....

Thomas A. Rowe · Mar 19, 2005

However without the error, but adding the spaces the script should work as provided.

Hi, thanks so it should read:
javascript/trustlogo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
with a space between js" and type, right? And it should be all one line or
just as you typed? Just want to be sure.
Also, in regards to the number "4" I don't know what it is, or what it is for.
Thanks to you both for your input.

Thomas A. Rowe · Mar 19, 2005

Correct.

What number 4?

Don't forget to correct the typo that Murray indicated and make sure to replace:

images/secure_site.gif

with

images/cat_secure_site.gif

The sixth post in this string...Murray asks about the number 4, doesn't know
what it is.
OK so the space is definite between the js and the work "type". Lastly does
it all have to be on one line or can it be broken into the three lines as I
see it in the post?
Thanks,C

Thomas A. Rowe · Mar 20, 2005

Should be on one line like posted.

Please bear with me for a few more questions...
both of these script lines should go into the left border page only,correct?
How do all of the mouseover commands get on my page (like the ones I see on
Goodiestore online that are connected to the logo)???
thanks for all of the help.

Thomas A. Rowe · Mar 20, 2005

Catt,

Yes, both of the script lines must be in the left border page after the <body> tag.

The script you were provided with, should generate the mouse over effect as seen on the Goodiestore,
unless Comodo has change the script currently being provided.

What number 4?

This one -

<p align="left" style="text-indent: 4">

It needs units, e.g,

<p align="left" style="text-indent: 4px;">

Catt · Mar 21, 2005

Thank you Sirs. I finally accomplished the script.
I speak for hundreds of people when I say
where would a FP user be without this newsgroup and the
generous input from people like Murray and Rowe (just to name a few)?

You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help you.
