Font color disappears

S

sales

I need help! I have been working with FP for 6 years now and have 8
sites...I noticed about 4 months ago that the black font color on some
of my form pages would just disappear. You could see the blue
hyperlinked text, but the remaining text was invisible. It looked
perfectly fine in design view. I changed the text to a color besides
black and now you can see it, but I don't like it that way. Today, one
of my sites is going completely haywire - my text color is randomly
disappearing - I cannot figure it out. Here's an
example:http://www.rockimals.com/plush_rocking_horses.htm
If you notice, every other horse or so is missing the description. the
word are there, but it's invisible....
Can anybody help? Fast???

The color of the font is set to White.

You have tag problems, such as:

<font color="#FFFFFF" color="#FFFFFF">

Are you using the FP option to optimize pages during publishing? If so, don't.

To make things much easier for yourself you sould be using CSS to define the
fonts and font colors you want to see.

Thank you for your quick reply! Actually, I figured out how I did this.
Last night, I was trying to "clean up" my html, as directed in one of
those free SEO tools...they said every site should have this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
at the top of every page...so I added that. I just took it out and
everything is back to normal (obviously, I know nothing about html).

Although, that still doesn't explain why my font color on form pages
changes to white. I certainly don't change it. Have you ever heard of
that before. This is the page where I finally changed the font color to
burgundy: http://rockimals.com/ra_form.htm

Even the confirmation page changes itself to white font.

Anyway, thank you again for your reply.

Thanks E.T. Yes, I'm going to have to find time to figure that out. Can
you point me to any good tutorials?

Again, thank you E.T. I completed the FP tutorials and it's not as
complex as I thought! But I am stuck....Can I link my pages to a CSS
even though I'm using a DWT throughout my site? Do I just link to my
editable region on DWT?
When I try to link a page to a style sheet now, it won't let me, even
though I selected to do so in authoring tools...

Either apply your single style for all pages to your DWT
Or create an editable region for your style sheets for each page in the Head section of your DWT
