I've started to upload stuff onto my new web site, and when I went to check and make sure the image map worked, I noticed that all of my text was black, when it's supposed to be an orangish color.

http://www.freepgs.com/xerox/home.html

I checked the CSS for the pages that appear in my iframes [I have an external CSS page for that home page, then a different one for all of the subpages that appear in my iframe], and I have all of the text bases covered as far as it showing up orange. And my links, on mouseover, are supposed to switch over from having pink letters/orange underline to orange letters/pink underline, but only the letters are changing. I'm getting lost now, because I checked and rechecked all of my CSS and I can't see anything that could be affecting it.

Also, how do I get rid of that inset border on my iframe? I don't remember how. I put a solid border the same color as the background around it, but that didn't make it go away.

Thanks to anyone that can help me. :D

can we see the css for the text?

to get rid of the frame border, add this: border="0" frameborder="0"

Sure. Here's the part of my CSS that deals with my text/link stuff...

body
{ background: #FEB62A;
font-family: tahoma,verdana,arial,sans
-serif;
font-color: #FDE2AD;
font-size:8pt;
scrollbar-face-color : #FF05AA;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #FDE2AD;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #FED6F1;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #F0BE5E;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #BC1A89;
scrollbar-track-color : #FF05AA;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #FED6F1;}

A:link
{ text-decoration: none; color:#FED6F1; border-bottom: 1px dashed #FDE2AD;}
A:visited
{ text-decoration: none; color:#FED6F1; }
A:active
{ text-decoration: none; color:#FED6F1; }
A:hover
{ text-decoration: none; color:#FDE2AD; border-left-right: 1px dashed #FED6F1;}

text,p,blockquote
{font-family: tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;
color : #FDE2AD;
font-size:8pt;
}

I have the text,p,blockquote along with the body stuff because sometimes I align stuff to the right, and just want to be sure that it all stays the same. Also, I might change the properties for text that's aligned differently, I haven't decided yet.

Thanks a ton for the frameborder stuff. I can't believe I forgot that after using iframes so much. :D

the css seems fine. have you formatted the text on the page aswell? as you've got all teh font properties in a external css file, you could try highlighting all the text on your page and unformat it (that is if your uisng a html editor)

No HTML editor, per se. I'm using EditPad Lite [a souped up version of Notepad, basically] to write my HTML.

ok. do you have font tags for your text in the actual html in the page? if you do, try taking them out as they might be overwriting the css.

Nope, no font tags. The only text formatting tag I've used is <p align="left"></p>.

hmm, i'm not sure why it's not working.

i just noticed something.. in this part:

text,p,blockquote
{font-family: tahoma,verdana,arial,sans -serif;
color : #FDE2AD;
font-size:8pt;
}
try changing color : #FDE2AD; to font-color : #FDE2AD;

This is getting kind of weird, haha. I changed it and reuploaded it, and my text is still black. Maybe it's possessed. :lol:

Does your host put adverts on your site, as sometimes, they use text links which use their own formatting.. that could have overwritten your text, but it doubt it. i know its annoying, but how about trying a different host, just to see if it changes the text.

There are no ads on my host, but I tried it on a different server and it's still showing up black.

thats really strange, sorry but i have no idea why its doing it :( How about scrapping the css file and just formatting the text in the html?

I'll probably have to do that. Thanks for all of your help, though! I really appreciate it. :D

thats ok, but sorry i couldn't help more.

The correct way to colour font in CSS is color: #colour; so try changing them to that.
