CSS tags position?

Huitzilopochtli · Feb 24, 2003

Hello

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

<style type="text/css">
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="black" text="white">

and:

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

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

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

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

Many thanks in anticipation.

body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
}

Hello Ceedee

Many thanks for your reply.

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

<style type="text/css">
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 "Please click here to type in your Name(Email, etc) - just not the end part:

ahh try

Response.Write "<center>Please click <a href='gbook.asp'>here</a> to go back to the guestbook</center>"

that second "a" shouldn't be "A" [Hammer]
