Help with the comments pop-up

[webby]

Hi everybody :D

I was modifying the comment_template.html and I think I have done a mistake because the texts below are now in white (the background is already white so we can't see the texts) :

"ADD COMMENT" "Message:" "Name:" "Website URL, if any" "Email (not visible to others)" and "Save User Info".

Can somebody tell me where I have to modify something to set another colour?

I thought it was here:

#comment-body {
background: #F5F5F5;
color: #444444;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
}

but this is written "color: #444444;" so I don't know :roll:

Thanks for your help :wink:

the best would be if you tell us the URL and we can have a look
I do not like speculating about things which I cannot see :lol:

but you can help yourself very easily:

1) install FireFox Browser if not installed already
2) install WebDeveloperExtensions if not installed already
3) open your page in FireFox
4) choose "View StyleInformation" in the webdeveloper bar
5) move the cursor to the space of the screen where you "lost" the background color
6) in the statusbar you see the relevant style-information
example:
http://www.bildgier.de/bilder/statusbar.jpg
the last is the CSS element which you must change

try it, it is very helpful!

#addcomment {
background: #FFFFFF;
color:black;
border-bottom: 0px dotted #444444;
border-left: 0px dotted #444444;
border-right: 0px dotted #444444;
border-top: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 10px;
}


but promise me to follow my suggestion and try to identify yourself where you are doing what, otherwise you will not learn anything and always depend on others ...

FireFox is a very good tool for understanding CSS and HTML and in our forum you can find a lot of links for information about these things!

Well the thing is that I don't like Firefox...

I'm not counting everytime on the others: I'm learning a lot alone regarding my html level but I don't understand css a lot :( and I have spent two hours on this problem :(

If someone can help me :roll:

firefox in the photoblogging community is something you have to become familiar with as over half of your visitors will be using it.

Hey nice to see that your photoblog is back again :wink:

[Connie]

sorry, Webby, I helped you
but you must read!

I added the attribute "color:black" to the element #addoncomment
#addcomment {
background: #FFFFFF;
color:black;
border-bottom: 0px dotted #444444;
border-left: 0px dotted #444444;
border-right: 0px dotted #444444;
border-top: 0px;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 10px;
}
color:black;
color:black;
color:black;

at least you must read and compare

I am quite annoyed now, I give you the solution and you don't read it.

You know, you spent 2 hours on that, I cannot tell you how many hours I spend on learning, and how many hours I spend here in the forum

:roll:

Oops I thought you quoted my own code :oops:
Well what can I say now? Sorry and above all thank you :oops:

[Connie]
