Help with Text or Font Color ?

Mike-2003

I can't seem to figure this one out. In the below code, I would like the 'CustName' which is extracted to be blue. I thought I had it but it still does not work.
Can someone help point out what I'am doing wrong? Thanks.

echo "<td><font class='text10bold''color='#0000FF'</font><width=30%>".$query_data["CustName"]."</td></tr>";

Option

echo "<td><font class=\"text10bold\" color=\"#0000FF\"</font><width=30%>".$query_data["CustName"]."</td></tr>";

might be quicker to point out what you're doing right...

to make text blue (without using a stylesheet) you'd just need to mark up the text like so:

so, firstly you'll need a space between the last ' of the "class" definition and the start of the colour definition.

Then you need to close the font tag ">".

I dont know what "<Width=30%>" is supposed to be doing - that's not valid HTML. if you're trying to set the width of the cell then it needs to be in the TD tag.

You should close the font tag after the text that you want to be blue, not before it.

Mightnt be a bad idea to have a look at a html tutorial to get to grips with the basics.

and option what you've posted doesnt fix anything, since all the mistakes listed above are still valid in your post. this one has nothing to do with escaping quote marks i'm afraid.

The line should read:

echo "<td width='30%'><font class='text10bold' color='#0000FF'>".$query_data["CustName"]."</font></td></tr>";

Thanks! that worked great. Is there a link you would happen to know for a tutorial on html?

Also where would I find information about the stylesheets and how to use them?

Thanks again!

for the real basics i found html goodies : very handy, but it does teach you some bad habits.

For CSSs you should head to a very good resource, the w3 schools.

you should always check the world wide web consortium for official guidelines, and their validator will test all your code for you to check that if conforms to the required standards - you should always try to pass the validation test.
