Bob, thnaks for doing the "detective" work on this problem. I noticed it too but attributed it to my computer simply getting old and weak and seeing purple. Somehow, during the course of setting up the previous week's gallery the staff in charge must have replaced the # just before the color code with "Sarah, 4 Years Old" - can't get good help around here these days! of course, on the salary they get I guess I can't complain. thanks - it will be fixed asap. Andy Andrew Davidhazy, andpph@rit.edu - PhotoForum on the Internet Wondering why the gallery flashed purple for a second before turning grey I looked at the HTML code ... <body text="#000000" bgcolor="Sarah, 4 Years OldFFFFFF" background="icons/background-llg.jpg"> Is that HTML5 of some new microsoft attribute I've not met before ... the gallery gnomes are perhaps on whacky backy this week .... B
