fs63701 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Hello, I'm pretty new to osC and have a little problem. On some of my pages (login/register page, my account page and so on) I can't see anything because I have white characters on a white background :huh: . I think it's a setting in the stylesheet but I have no idea where. Does someone know how to change the background on these pages within the stylesheet? Or what can I do differently and how? Thanks, Frank

Guest Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 This will atleast give an idea of what is in the stylesheet. http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/C...n_and_Layout/54
fs63701 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks for the fast response guys. I looked over the stylesheet definitions and tried a few things here and there but without any luck. I created an account on the site at http://www.steicom.com/catalog The login for a registered user is [email protected], password: 12345 Maybe you have better luck or know by looking at it where I screwed up. :blush: Thanks, Frank
germ Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Change the color in this part of your stylesheet to this TD.main, P.main { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5; color: #ffffff; } I can't find white on white. I see black on black :blink: But I didn't cruise every page. I stopped when I got to one with a problem (Shipping & Returns).

germ Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 What a can of worms.... :blink: I found some white on white (Contact Us). ADD this style to the stylesheet: TD.main2, P.main2 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5; color: #000000; } Then on pages where you have white text on white background, find this code before the text: <td class="main"> Change it to this: <td class="main2"> Somethings gotta give somewhere... I don't like editing the source, but it's probably quickest in this instance. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Brian, when I look at the Shipping and Returns page I see white text on a black background. I changed the section to what you suggested, but I can't see a difference. When you go to the Contact Us page, the text above the entry boxes can't be seen unless highlighted. Any ideas? Frank
germ Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I'm not Brian, but read my last post to fix the Contact Us page.

I'll go ahead and edit the other pages. I hope I don't run into any more trouble. Thanks for your help. Frank
