Hello

I have the following in my <head></head> tags:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
a:link {color:white;}
a:visited {color:white;}
a:active {color:white;}
body { background:black; color:white }
div { font-family: verdana; font-style: normal; font-color: white }
</style>

and further down the page within the body tags, I have:

<body bgcolor=&quot;black&quot; text=&quot;white&quot;>

and:

Response.Write &quot;<div><center>The guestbook has been updated with your message</center></div>&quot;

Response.Write &quot;<div><center>Please click <a href='guestbook.asp'>here</A> to go back to the guestbook</center></div>&quot;

So why does the page appear completely black? In other words, the visitor is not able to see the:

&quot;The guestbook has been updated with your message
Please click here to go back to the guestbook&quot; message.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Hello Ceedee

Many thanks for your reply.

I now have this pasted between the <Head> tags:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
a:link {color:white;}
a:visited {color:white;}
a:active {color:white;}
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>

and have deleted the <div> tags from the Response.write statements, but it's still all dark!

I don't think it's the VBScript, so it must be something in the HTML.

Thanks again.

Hello CeeDee

Yes - and thanks again - here it is. Please note that the code DOES show (in white text and with the white underlined link) the &quot;Please click here to type in your Name(Email, etc) - just not the end part:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%option explicit%>
<!--#include file=&quot;DbConn.asp&quot;-->
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
a:link {color:white;}
a:visited {color:white;}
a:active {color:white;}
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>

</HEAD>

<body bgcolor=&quot;black&quot; text=&quot;white&quot;>

<center>

<%
dim objRS, strSQL
dim strName, strSubject, strMessage, strEmail, strDate, strTime

strSQL = &quot;SELECT * FROM Forum&quot;
set objRS = server.CreateObject(&quot;ADODB.RecordSet&quot;)
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn,1,2

strName = Request.Form(&quot;txtName&quot;)
strSubject = Request.Form (&quot;txtSubject&quot;)
strMessage = Request.Form (&quot;txtMessage&quot;)
strEmail = Request.Form(&quot;txtEmail&quot;)
strDate = (Date)
strTime = (Time)


strMessage = Replace(strMessage,chr(10),&quot;<BR>&quot;)


If strName=&quot;&quot; or strSubject=&quot;&quot; or strMessage=&quot;&quot; or strEmail=&quot;&quot; Then
Response.Write &quot;Please click <a href=&quot;&quot;&quot; &_
&quot;javascript:history.go(-1)&quot;&quot;>here</A> to type in your &quot;
Select Case &quot;&quot;
Case strName Response.Write &quot;Name&quot;
Case strSubject Response.Write &quot;Subject&quot;
Case strMessage Response.Write &quot;Message&quot;
Case Else Response.Write &quot;Email&quot;
End Select
Response.Write &quot;&quot; & vbCrLf
End If
Response.End


objRS.AddNew
objRS(&quot;Name&quot;) = strName
objRS(&quot;Subject&quot;) = strSubject
objRS(&quot;Message&quot;) = strMessage
objRS(&quot;Email&quot;) = strEmail
objRS(&quot;Date&quot;) = strDate
objRS(&quot;Time&quot;) = strTime

objRS.Update

Response.Write &quot;<center>The guestbook has been updated with your message</center>&quot;
Response.Write &quot;<center>Please click <a href='gbook.asp'>here</A> to go back to the guestbook</center>&quot;

%>
</center>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Best wishes
