page and font colors

P

Paul Ferrara

Something weird is happening with one page (out of hundreds) on my web site.
I have the page color set to black and the font color set to white. ONE page
is correct in design mode and in preview mode but when displayed in the
browser, the colors reverse; I get black text on a white background. Thanks
for any help you can provide.

Sorry, I didn't get notified of your reply. Here's the link:

The page should be black and the text should be white and that's the way it
shows up in preview and design mode. This is actually the 2nd page with this
problem. After seemingly not getting a reply and not finding anything in the
help, I recreated the first page and deleted the original. This is a brand
new page that I started from scratch just a few hours ago. Now something has
changed and when I go to page properties the color drop down arrows are
disabled. The same thing happened on the first page I mentioned. This is
really driving me nuts and I appreciate any suggestions you can make.

When you use a FP Include Page or Shared borders, only the content the is between the
<body>..content..</body> is included. Makes sure that the page containing the Include has the page
background set, etc.

Thank you, Thomas, and hello! I remember you helping me a long time ago.
Can you explain what I have to do to ensure that happening? I don't quite
understand.

This is getting pretty confusing. After reading your comments, I took a look
at another page that uses the same include page. The page did not contain
the "stylesrc" line but instead had a line that set the colors explicitly.
So I changed the page that I had posted the link to and it now works.

But then I looked at another similar page:

http://www.paulsportraits.com/fashion/fashion-alana2.htm

And it contains the same "stylesrc" line that did not work in the page
mentioned above. I'm not really used to having to deal with html. I've
always been able to do this in design mode. I don't understand what's
changed.

Thanks,

Paul

You have
<body stylesrc="http://paul/photos/index.htm">
Which doesn't exist
All your other pages have
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">

The page fashion-alana2.htm was built with FrontPage 98, which used
stylesrc="pagename.htm" to get page styles from other pages. Note that the
<body> tag on this page contains all the style information, presumably
copied from another page. When FP98 was produced browser support for CSS
was limited.

FrontPage2003 (as used for fashion-christine.htm) ignores the
stylesrc="pagename.htm" attribute, and has no means in its User Interface to
add this attribute to the <body> tag.
The trend nowadays is to use external CSS to bring common style elements
into pages.

Thanks to both of you for the explanation! I guess now it's time to get into
style sheets.
