    Solved Editing post colors via Javascript - Won't work now

    Post by MDillon March 7th 2014, 6:03 am

    So, yesterday, I stumbled upon this thread... https://help.forumotion.com/t127662-how-to-change-post-text-background-color-change

    I followed the steps and they all worked like a charm. The code was perfect and didn't seem to slip up.

    However, today, after changing a bit of the CSS (not much, just working on hovers)... the post color went back to normal and I can't seem to get the colors to work again.

    This is bugging me... and I need help...

    I have a Phpbb2 base, if you couldn't tell from the post or what not.

    Thanks in advance!

    Check and see if you have these variables used anywhere other than the script provided by Ange:

    Code:
    td.row1.jaune-post:nth-child(2),td.row2.jaune-post:nth-child(2){
    background:#f0f0f0 url('http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/18/21/60/73/jaune10.png') repeat-y
    }
    td.row1.vert-post:nth-child(2),td.row2.vert-post:nth-child(2){
    background:#f0f0f0 url('http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/18/21/60/73/vert10.png') repeat-y
    }

    Sadly, I did not put this code anywhere else. I didn't even mess with any code like it. I only edited the CSS and Javascript... I still can't figure it out...

    Hello MDillon,

    I have check your CSS and you're making the selectors invalid by placing 2 slashes a text before it.

    Example :
    Code:
    //END CHATBOX td.row1.jaune-post:nth-child(2), td.row2.jaune-post:nth-child(2) {
    background:#f0f0f0 url(http://i62.tinypic.com/dr436u.png) repeat-y
    }

    That is commonly a single line comment for languages like javascript. This is NOT supported in CSS. Instead you must write comments as :
    Code:
    /* THIS IS A COMMENT */
    td.row1.jaune-post:nth-child(2), td.row2.jaune-post:nth-child(2) {
    background:#f0f0f0 url(http://i62.tinypic.com/dr436u.png) repeat-y
    }

    Review your CSS and edit the single line comments to fix any errors.

    Thank you very much! I'm so used to using comments in my coding that I didn't realize that it doesn't work on CSS... Simple mistake, but thank you! Smile
