zoomer Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 You need to escape your apostrophes- like don\'t - so they are translated as html instead of PHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labybriana Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi Zoomer, I did that- I only had one. But it still gives me the same error message. Briana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webby70 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi Briana, try this (it helped me before, hopefully will work for you as well): define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<body><b><font color=maroon>Have you ever been jolted from a sound sleep by someone calling your name, then sat up and discovered you were all alone?

241 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 The only apostrophe that I can see has been escaped however you do have an unnecessary </html> and <body> and </body> tags try this define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<font color=maroon>Have you ever been jolted from a sound sleep by someone calling your name, then sat up and discovered you were all alone?

labybriana Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi Steve and Christine. I tried both and I still get the error message. There is something it doesn't like in the following: define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<font color=maroon>Have you ever been jolted but I can't figure it out. Thanks for your suggestions. Anything else I can try? Briana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charleyshipman Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 You might try replacing maroon with #xxxxxx where is the six-digit hex value for the color you want. The web site http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wdnut/excer...eb_palette.html has a good chart of color vs. hex values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
