Coping FP website to different server - problems

N

Norm75

I help out with our church website - www.wpguc.com - and the name of the
church shows up fine. Recently, I made a copy of the web on my FP2002 and put
if on another server so I could play around with it. I find the name of the
church really doesn't show but if one passes the mouse over the name, it
shows up in black. (The correct colour is "white" over the background).
Interestingly, the name of the city - Vancouver - doesn't show in the second
server. The URL for the "testing of the web" is: http://www3.telus.net/wpguc/


I am really not very knowledgeable at all with programming and rely on FP to
do the work. However, the previous person who was a programmer set up the CSS
files which work fine on the main site but the only minor problem is the name
not showing without the mouse passing over and then it shows as black instead
of white.

I would really appreciate any help and guidance here. Thanks.

Norm.

This will break in many browsers, especially those that adhere to
standards: Nesting block elements such as <p> in a hyperlink is invalid
HTML.

<h1><a href="index.html" title="Go to home page">West Point Grey United

</a></h1>

Rewrite as:

<h1><a href="index.html" title="Go to home page">West Point Grey United
Church<span style="font-size:20pt;font-family:pMingLiU,serif"><span
lang="ZH-TW">Î÷ </span><span lang="JA">µã Áª </span><span
lang="ZH-TW">ºÏ </span><span lang="JA">½Ì »á</span></span></a></h1>


The colours for the church name are defined in layout4_setup.css

..sitename H2 {
FONT-SIZE: 160%; MARGIN: -4px 0px 0px; COLOR: rgb(234,239,247)
}
..sitename A {
COLOR: rgb(234,239,247); TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
..sitename A:hover {
COLOR: rgb(50,50,50); TEXT-DECORATION: none
}


The link hover colour is a dark grey, the link normal color, and other
text in the banner, are "off white". The background colour is set by
the background image ../img/bg_head_middle_blue.jpg

To change the colour of the text, amend the CSS.

Many thanks, Ron. This is very helpful - as you can appreciate, I am still
very much in the learning phase so this moves me along well.

Norm.
