SOLVED: WYSIWYG White on White

[alleyoopster]

Hi,

Just handed over a site and got a call to say the WYSIWYG was not working. Checked this out with admin user and same deal. In fact all WYSIWYG editors I have tried FCK, TinyMCS basic and advanced all behave the same. There is formated text on the screen, but the text is displayed in white with a white background. Highlighting shows all as does straight HTML edit.

I know it was working, but clearly something has changed. Can anyone suggest a solution? I would be very grateful.

OK it was me. I changed the CSSmenu stylesheet which affects the WYSIWYG

Hey Alleyoopster,

Could you be more specific please? I'm stuck with the same problem. And indeed, the text became "invisible" after I finalised my CSS-menu style sheet. The text is the same colour as the background. C5C4BC in my case. Once selected it is visible fine.

Is this where I should be looking for the solution:

Code: Select all

/* Styling the basic apperance of the menu elements */
#primary-nav a { 
   border: 1px solid #333333; 
   display: block; 
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 5px 10px; 
   color: #C5C4BC;
   text-decoration: none; 
   background: transparent; 
   min-height:1em; /* Fixes IE7 whitespace bug*/ 

• When I change C5C4BC in a different colour, I do see it in the menu of the site, but the Wysiwyg-editor remains C5C4BC so the problem remains.
• Also taking out background: transparent; doesn't do it.

There is no single further occurance of C5C4BC in the CSS-menu style sheet. But the Wysiwyg is definately C5C4BC, as is, and should be all the text on the site.

I'll keep on looking myself too. Will post when I find something.

Thanks in advance for your assistance, or anybody elses.

Regards, Thomas.

Sorry to keep you.

Solved it myself.

I found my problem in the general layout style sheet, here:

Code: Select all

/*****************
basic layout 
*****************/
body {
   background-color: #C5C4BC;
   color: #C5C4BC;
   margin:1em;    /* gives some air for the pagewrapper */
}

I had that setting cause I wanted the colour ouside around the site to be the same as the text. I'll have to find another solution.

Regards, Thomas.
