Why an all white theme suddenly

jfriend · October 12, 2005

Why has smugmugwhite.css taken over? In Firefox (but not in IE), my site has a whole new look as of about an hour ago. It's all white, instead of black. It looks normal in IE, but it's got a whole white theme to it in Firefox. I didn't do anything to my site today and it just switched.

When I look at it using the Firefox web developer toolbar, I find that if I disable the smugmugwhite.css style sheet, everything returns to normal. What's happening here? Why the change? Why does it look different in IE vs. Firefox.

ADDED LATER - Never Mind. Somehow, my smugmug background color got changed to white in the drop-down list at the upper right corner of the screen. I swear I didn't do it, but anyway things are back to their normal black selves now.

I see black not white in both firefox 1.0.7 and IE6

In fact, I don't even see smugmugwhite.css as an option in the webdeveloper toolbar. Perhaps you accidentally selected the white theme for a bit and then reset it or something?

Yep, it was just the white theme selected

Yep, that's what happened. The white theme was selected for some reason (oops). I don't remember selecting it because that's not my viewing preference. Oh well, I think the last thing I did before this happened was check out a bunch of the other popular themes. I wonder if something in one of those themes ends up encouraging you to end up with the white theme selected.

You have a marquee tag (yuck) that you didn't close in your header. firefox ignores it (and potentially doesn't display the marquee tag <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ne_nau.gif" border="0" alt="" >) but IE goes wacky.

Look in your header for the <marquee> and either remove it or add an associated </marquee> tag somewhere.

no <marquee> anywhere
I just went through all the scripts, and

<marquee> does not exist anywhere.

this is what is in the Header window:

<div align="center"><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/StuckontheWeb/MySpace/bybill.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
</div>

I would be glad to post the css if that would help, but no marquee anywhere in there either..

The marquee tag appears to be in your Bio. Do a View/Page Source on your page in Firefox and then search on marquee and you will find it in the page on what I think is your Bio.

Dumbed out
Thank you jfriend, right in front of my face. Thank everyone else for thier assistance.
Learned lesson:
sometimes you need to step back and come back at the basics.
