Just to let all know, since the other thread kinda got off-topic and baried, that the SLEUTH files now have two cases uploaded.
A short story is on it's way, I am awaiting editing from my wife on that. And again...I still need more submissions. As of right now...I'm riding on almost empty again. You can submit either a blooper case You can also submit a simple account (not naritive please) of a run that you would like for me to write up in short-story format as well. Hope you guys enjoy! (takes medication) |

For some reason, I can't read any of the text other than the headline when I view the page using Firefox, but it works just fine in Internet Explorer. FYI, I guess.

yeah, firefox makes black text over black background. You can highlight the text to see it, though.

Yeah, I can't see it with Netscape 7.2 either, though I don't see anything wrong in the source file and can actually read the story there...

Thats some impressive simultaneous posting, there.
And yes, the problem I'm having is the same black text/black background thing as the others here have mentioned. |

Yeah, the problem's with his CSS.
Stumps, when adding hex color tags to your CSS, you need to add the # symbol in front of it to make sure it works properly. So instead of color: ffffff you need to change it to color: #ffffff. Otherise quality browsers just look at you like you're a retard and ignore what you put in. |

Yeah, I fixed it I think.
Tell me if you guyes are still having any problems. It was in the Stylesheet and various little areas else where. (I got lazy...IE doesn't care if you have clean code...my bad) |

Oh...and I'm trying to find an artist to work up small artwork for the cases and more glamorous work for the short stories.
If you guys happen to know anyone who's pretty damn talented, and might be interested, send them my way would ya? (I've already posted at the SR-artwork group on yahoo) [edit](Whizbang, I sent a PM to you about that...sorry about the mess up.) |

Same thing, black on black in the Case pages. Mozilla 1.6b. Had to select the text to read it.

The problem is that you're now adding quotation marks. Strip them out. As mentioned above, it should look like this: color: #efefef;

just downloaded firefox so I can test properly
I think the problem is code support. I don't think that these other browsers support this code in a css TD.1 { padding-left:30; padding-right:30; padding-top:30; padding-bottom:30; color: "#efefef"; font-family: courier new, arial; text-align: justify; background-image: url('http://www.exigine.com/sleuth/images/office02.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-attachment: fixed; } [edit]I removed the quotes The original looked like this: TD.1 { padding-left:30; padding-right:30; padding-top:30; padding-bottom:30; color: #efefef; font-family: courier new, arial; text-align: justify; background-image: url('images/office02.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-attachment: fixed; } |

See above. You can also save a bit of bandwidth by getting rid of all four of those seperate padding codes and just using: padding: 30; I'd probably add a px count to it, too (ie, 30px;), but that's just me. You don't need the single quotes in the URL bit, either. Oh screw it, try this on for size.

Also, anywhere in your code where you have   you should actually have
The paragraph tag is a container tag - each paragraph should technically begin with an opening <p> tag and end with a closing </p> tag. |

Bah.
Try that. If that still doesn't work the problem's probably hidden somewhere in your HTML. |

That still doesn't work...this is driving me nuts.
Basically I've narrowed it down to saying one thing for sure. It's not the style.css. Reason: nothing in any of the TD.x codes are working. This means that it's not being called properly. I'm trying to find out why right now. |
