Changing the Background Color using Global Page

9 years ago

I'm trying to change the background color of my pages using the global background script. After doing some digging in the forums, I found this handy code.

$PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "<body bgcolor='#333399'>"

Only problem is, when I go and copy and paste it into the scripting window and test my story, it doesn't work. The background always defaults to white. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? 

Thanks!

(Note: I grabbed the code from this forum post, http://chooseyourstory.com/forums/advanced-editor-forum/message/4338)

Try $PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "<style>body {background-color: #333399;}</style>"

It worked! Thank you! So I just had to wrap it in style tags then?

I'd say using style tags is generally better than using multiple body tags for additional attributes.

You don't need the single quotes.
