Eric, I'm glad that worked.

Although I have never seen it, I have read that if you have the Google toolbar and if autofill is enabled, the toolbar will override CSS settings for input field background color. If that is the problem, I wonder if you can get around this by using a background image. You could try making a small image that is a solid #1F1F1F, and set it in the input and text area background.

Bill, the accolades that many of us express here on the forum for TCH are well deserved. You and your staff do a great job, and the commitment to your customers is evident in so many ways. One of which is adding some fun with the contests and prizes -- an expense that you certainly don't have to incur, but you do it anyway. It is a shame that someone took a good deed and turned it into a mess. As for your rant, I too am perplexed by the sense of entitlement that is so prevalent in our society. But the "cry babies" are easy to identify and ignore. It is a lot more enjoyable to associate and communicate with people who like to learn, to build, and to share their knowledge and the joy of their acheivements -- that must be why I enjoy this forum so much. Peace, --BC

Too bad that I came to this thread late. I had the perfect solution to the problem. Give me the server, and I promise to be eternally grateful. Actually, prizes or no prizes, I am grateful anyway to have found such a terrific hosting company as TCH. It is truly a pleasure doing business with you all.

I'll cast another vote for eliminating the Flash menu. Here is my wish list: 1. PHP, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and CSS, with minimal use of Javascript and Flash. 2. Code all essential navigation in XHTML and CSS, in order to insure that functionality and usability will be extended to all users irrespective of client side script support. Use Flash, Javascript, and AJAX only to enhance the experience of those viewing the sites on a client that supports Flash and Javascript. 3. If the layout is set up to accomodate 800 wide screen resolution, center the page content in order to eliminate the blank area on the right for those with screen resolution > 800px width.

You might try this: ><a href='java script:history.go(-1)' onmouseover='self.status=document.referrer;return true'>Return to Form</a>

These scams are just typical of how slimey people use information that is public access to try to scam the consumer. As the number of domains that I manage have increased, so have the silly postcards and letters trying to scare me into renewing, often at a rate double or triple what I am paying for the domains. So far, however, these guys have just used mail and not phone. One group of scammers that is a lot more tenacious is the automobile extended warranty companies. Anyone who has purchased a new vehicle in a state where registration data is accessible to the public has probably experienced the mail and phone calls about 3 years later from people with "reminders" that your vehicle warranty is about to expire. Buyer beware!!!!

As you can see from Bruce's highlighting, the body tag was not properly copied. Below, I have edited your code. Please copy and paste into your file, overlaying everything from the html tag through the body tag. ><html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage Express 2.0"> <title>cont10</title> </head> <body style="background-image: url(http://www.planetarystories.com/images/PS_TOC.jpg); background-position: top center; background-repeat: no-repeat;">

Shelby, if you copy that code exactly, and the page and image are in the same domain, it will work. Alternatively, if you wish to use the entire url for your background image, you could use the following code: ><body style="background-image: url(http://www.planetarystories.com/images/PS_TOC.jpg); background-position: top center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Here is a page that I made, using the above code: (this page is temporary, and the link will not work after today) So, you can see that this will work if properly implemented. Also, please remember that in this case style is an attribute of the body tag, therefore it would be inappropriate to add a /style end tag. Good luck, --Bob

Shelby, the syntax for the background-image url is wrong. Follow Bruce's recommendation for forming the actual url. Also, the declaration requires the word url, followed by () containing the actual image url. In this case, you are using an inline style parameter. Style is a parameter of the body tag, therefore you should not use a /style end tag. Try this code for your body tag: ><body style="background-image: url(/images/PS_TOC.jpg); background-position: top center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> That should work, assuming that you want the image postitioned at the top center of the body. --Bob

Since it has been a few days since the release, I thought that I would update this thread. I have updated all my boards now, and did not incur any installation problems other than those in the first post. After running for several days, everything looks good, and no users have reported problems related to the new release.

You could use CSS to define where in the body your background image will be placed, whether or not it will repeat, and if it repeats whether it repeats vertically or horizontally. If you do not use an external CSS file, you could put style declarations in the page head, or you could use inline style. Here is an example: ><body style="background-image: url(/your_image_folder/your_image.png); background-position: top center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> For more information, here is a link to the W3C page on background in CSS: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Holy Crap!!! you guys scores for 18 is like my score for 9 holes. I really suck at golf, but I think my problem with this computer mini game is not enough beer and not enough sunshine.

Nice shot of a Herky in flight -- thanks. These two are adult cats, but to us they will always be kittens How about a picture of a rocky sea coast.
