User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021029 Phoenix/0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021029 Phoenix/0.4 I tried visiting my site in phoenix (http://hazmat27.tripod.com), and the white text (using the <basefront> element) showed up as black on my black background. I checked out the source code and found an interesting piece of javascript that has never been there before (I type out the HTML for it myself):<script language="JavaScript"> <!-- // Cache-busting LUBID bug. var ran = Math.round(Math.random() * 899999) + 100000; var lubid_string = "<img src=\"http://hb.lycos.com/header?VID=5905&LHIG=1&ord=" + ran + "\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\">"; document.write(lubid_string); //--> </script> <noscript><img src="http://hb.lycos.com/header?VID=5905&LHIG=1" height="1" width="1"></noscript> This happens only where I have the basefront element set on white text. There are some other instances of code that aren't supposed to be there, are those needed as well? Also, the last modified code isn't working how it should either, and it works fine in MSN explorer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://hazmat27.tripod.com Actual Results: The site's white text came up as black and the last modified date is all screwed up. Expected Results: Phoenix should have displayed the text as white and retained the right dates and times for the last modified script.
Dupe of Mozilla's bug 3875, which is marked as WONTFIX. I recommand you use CSS instead of the old <basefont /> tag. Adding something like the following code should work. Add it between your <head> ... </head> tags. <style type="text/css"> body { color: white; background-color: black; } </style> As for the piece of HTML code you pasted, it's probably added by tripod/lycos when they send the page to the browser. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3875 ***
