[SOLVED] I'm stupid and just dont get it...

[GTP]

I want to change the colour of some text which at the moment is blue. I'd like to change it to this colour, #7bc37b (green)

At the moment I'm using this: [h1][i']"The person holding you down is already beneath you."[/h1][/I]

Doing this changes the text colour from white to blue and makes it italic, but I have no clue how to make it green.

I've tried following various tutorials but I'm just not getting it. It always ends up with words/letter/symbols outside the text like this: [colour: #7bc37b]"The person holding you down is already beneath you."

Any help gratefully appreciated.

I'm not sure where you're trying to do this, but turn off BBCode when reading the reply and you should see the correct code for this forum

In case it won't toggle, here's a screen shot of the above with BBCode toggled off. Those RGB values create the hex color value you gave:

One line of HTML: <p ><span style='color:#7BC37B'>Test<o></o></span></p>

This is very much an off-the-top-of-my-head thought, but have you tried adopting the spelling of the (currently) dominant culture and using "color" instead of "colour"? It's painful, I know, but it might help.

Thanks.
HTML is an "American" thing so I guess it makes sense to use their weird spelling. I'll try it.

Thanks Brian but it doesn't work. I get white text with all the tags showing.
Maybe the program I'm trying to change it in doesn't support HTML?

Thanks for your input, I thought I'd ask on here but its not that important.

If the colour changes with the mere addition of the H1 tag then does that not suggest that there is a style sheet or inline style specified?

Maybe you have to define a new style of text formatting earlier and then just reference that new style
