3rd paragraph from bottom - sample code that starts with "<body style="background-image..." |
Minor error in example of code for making a baground image "fixed".
The sample code currently reads:
<body style="background-image: url(granite.gif); background-color: beige; background-attachment=fixed">
The last part of that code regarding the background attachment should read:
background-attachment: fixed"
I believe the equal sign in that part of the code should actually be a colon.
Note from the Author or Editor: Equal sign should be replaced with a colon. Correct line is as follows:
<body style="background-image: url(granite.gif); background-color: beige; background-attachment: fixed">

The purpose of the exercise is to see the effect of removing the underline from the text 'Contact the Webmaster'. However, the default.css file contains a version of the copyright class that does not define a background color. In index.htm, an inline style sets the color of the contact information to white. As a result, the text 'Contact the Webmaster' cannot be seen.
In \07Text\ApplyingStrike\default.css, change:
.copyright {font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times", serif;}
to
.copyright {font-family: "Times New Roman", "Times", serif; background-color: green;}

Tip |
In the Tip:
Tip Not all Web browser software displays pages exactly the same way. For example, one
browser's idea of what text should look like might be different from another. It's a good idea
to check your pages in multiple Web browsers, such as Firefox, Netscape, and Opera. These are
available as free downloads from www.frefox.com, www.netscape.com, and www.opera.com,
respectively.
There is link and information about Netscape browser but there is no such browser anymore. The link leads to aol website (which probably owns the brand atm). The author probably meant Chrome from Google but by convention they wrote Netscape as it used to be in the old days.
Cheers,
