. . . having a song imbedded in my head as a perfect description of my state of mind and having nobody anywhere seem to have the words right on their goddamn website.
Heh. In black on deep blue, no less, and thus nearly illegible. Although it fits the tone of the piece, I suppose....
- Brooks, who figures it might be more legible if he had his monitor set on stun like most people seem to put theirs, instead of on a reasonable brightness level.
Hmph. Yeah, ok, it does that on reload (at least, on the times the site actually loads in the first place); I suspect what happened is that the background image simply didn't load.
As opposed, say, the bits of text on the left-hand side of the Livejournal page in which I'm typing this, which are apparently intended to be default text colors (black text, purple links, on my browser) on blue background. Not even approximating legible, now that I've got a few lights on.
If you're gonna make make the readability of the text dependent on the background color of the table cell, you have to take account of the fact that some browsers won't display background images in table cells, and use "bgcolor" as well as "background." Actually, you might have to get even more redundant and nest a table inside that table cell, and put bgcolor in the <TABLE> tag as well. I can't remember, since I do it so rarely.
Not like it's either of *your* responsibilities. Just sayin'.

Sigh.
Of course, it works fine in IE.
