for bg color

wprint "<body bgcolor="#E6E6FA">"

or possibly

wprint "<body bgcolor=#E6E6FA>" may do the trick but I would bet this is your issue!

I think the first will work but maybe not...
Give it a shot.

good luck and remember always try to follow w3c standards while producing a web page use this framework and make sure that all open tags have close tags as well.

Give it a shot see what happens both ways I don't have a version 3 loaded yet to test with been working a bit on reading about the newer syntax and such before I dive in on it ...

Seems to be a fairly smooth operator though at this point like a lot of the bugs are getting ironed out...



I tried both forms of the suggested
wprint "<body bgcolor="#E6E6FA">" --- causes a syntax error

wprint "<body bgcolor=#E6E6FA>" --- no error but no color

It sure would be nice if there was some working html code examples for ver 3!!

Thanks

The html command and the wprint command are the same. Most of the time when a command is depreciated or changed the old command is left working and just update the docs and the demos are updated to reflect the new command removing the old one. This might not always be true when all of the normal commands are updated over the next few months to use the new parsing engine but as much backwards compatibility as possible has been attempted. The wprint command how ever is used many places so the transition is a bit of a project.

try to use html rather than wprint and see what happens!

Roll through all the combinations I gave you this may just be the issue wprint is replaced by html or in the process of there may be a slight bit of skullduggery going on with the switch over.

Give html a try also give the last example I gave you a try.

I suppose I should just mod the code and try it but bed time is coming up like a gas bubble in a shallow pond.

Enjoy!
