Can't see white text on white background?

Post by dynobill »

Seems I have white text on a white background in my dropdown boxes. Where do I change that so it can bee seen?

Really odd that it has changed from last year?

I’ve been actively looking for what controls the css for the drop downs, but haven’t been able to pinpoint it yet. I have a few more things to look at and I’ll let you know what I find out. And I thought this would be an easy kill. Who knew. Haha.

A URL would be good to see if we are seeing the same thing you are. Is it possible that it is a firefox issue (if you are using firefox)? When I first set up my pool, the menus would not drop down on the newer version of firefox until I figured out the problem with the help of Mozilla support.

this should be towards the top of your "includes/menu.asp"

<a href="#" onclick="return false;">Weekly Pool <span class="arrow">&#9660;</span></a>
and

#9600 should be black

I have my survivor pool in yellow which is <a href="sideEntry.asp"><span style="color: #ffff00;">

Do a search in your styles/common.css for the following and compare it to the code your file:

Code: Select all

#siteMenu .subMenu {
	background-color: #000000;
	background-image: url("../graphics/smokedGlassBg.png");
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	border-top-width: 0px;
	padding: 2px 0px;
	border-bottom-left-radius: .5em;
	border-bottom-right-radius: .5em;
	min-width: 10em;
	position: absolute;
	visibility: hidden;
	z-index: 3;
	-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: .5em;
	-moz-border-radius-bottomright: .5em;
	-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: .5em;
	-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: .5em;
	box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #404040;
	-moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #404040;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #404040;
}

If this is a Firefox issue, here is what Mozilla support suggested and it worked for me. My problem was that the menus would not drop down at all. Perhaps it will work in this case.

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste window.event and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the dom.window.event.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false

Reload the page before testing. Menus should work normally.

I was missing the first line of the common.css "background-color: #000000". Looks like that fixed it!

Thanks everyone for the help, with an additional "Thanks" to fbonani

I have an additional issue that may be related.

The team logos don't appear on the weekly pick's page, or anywhere?

Interesting...The menu is now visible on firefox (newest version) if you hover over it, but I can't click on any of the drop down links. On Microsoft Edge, the white background is still there and I forced refreshed the page.
