    HTML code background color Empty HTML code background color

    Hi Smile

    Did not know whether this would be a color or HTML related issue, but assume its the last.

    I have integrated a player and a countdown timer in the homepage message section, the thing is I would like to be the background of that section to be black like the surrounding area around it.

    The link to my forum is : http://valiant.friendhood.net

    I have tried numerous color options ( all as far as I know ) but with no success.

    Apart from that I'm quite certain the code is generating the white section as it only appears when I integrate the player and timer.



    The code is as followed ;

    <FONT color=royalblue>Welcome to the Valiant Forums, if you wish to be able to hear the music you will need <STRONG><EM><U><A href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"><FONT color=black>Quicktime</FONT></A></U></EM></STRONG> and <STRONG><EM><U><A href="http://uk.real.com/player/win/"><FONT color=black>Realplayer</FONT></A></U></EM></STRONG>.&nbsp;&nbsp; We hope your visit&nbsp;is&nbsp;a pleasant one.</FONT>

    quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
    width="200" height="72.727272727273"
    name="timer" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />


    If you could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated Smile

    Here is a table code for color background.

    Replace: #d0d0d0 with the color of your choice

    Between the < p> </ p> add your paragraphs

    Code:
    <html>
    <body bgcolor="#d0d0d0">

    <p>
    This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph.
    </p>

    <p>
    This is another paragraph. This is another paragraph. This is another paragraph. This is another paragraph.
    </p>

    </body>
    </html>

    Hmm either something else is wrong then or I'm doing something wrong then in the code as it remains a white background.

    Adjusted the code like this but with no luck ;

    <html>
    <body bgcolor="#000000">

    Hi Misabella,

    I was having the same problem as you, only I didn't have a music player embedded in that area. I couldn't figure out how to change the background colour though. Your post and the answers I got helped me solve my problem! Smile

    I'm not sure if this is any help to you or not but this is how my code looks:

    Code:
    <div style="text-align: left; font-weight: bold;"><font size="3"><span style="color: RoyalBlue; background-color: rgb(30, 30, 42);">

    It is the way I want it now but where it says "background-color: rgb(30, 30, 42) is what I changed. Before it said "background color: white;" so I found the colour code number I needed and inputted it in place of "white". When I did this and went back to look at the html code it had changed it to "rgb(30, 30, 42)".

    I don't know if this helps you or not, but it worked for me. Smile

    Thanks

    Hi Brad,

    Thanks for replying and suggesting your tip, been toying around a bit with that code, but doesnt seem to solve the issue either.

    Odd thing is if i make a HTML page manually and I try the earlier mentioned code up in the thread it does seem to work, but on my frontpage it's stubborn.
