The updated version of VSD (6.0) isn't reading the header info, or is ignoring it.
The overall background color has been turned back to white not the color code I put in the header.
I'm not talking about the page color in VSD.
Here is a link to the website.

thanks for any heads up

There's a new setting that lets you specify whether to extend the background color beyond the page borders. It's set to no by default. I can't recall exactly where it is but it was easy to find when I noted the same issue.

Yea, I'm familiar with that.
The thing is, my back ground color for the "Page" is white.
My color for the browser page is a deep read, similar to the logo color.

I missed the part about where you had it in the header. I think I know the problem. VSD puts comment lines before and after the stuff you put in the header, and those comments have a syntax error causing the stuff you enter to be parsed oddly.
To see whether this is the problem you can try this: Look in the page HTML source for the portion you entered in the edit box. It will generally be towards the end of the <head> section. It should have these comment lines before and after your added code:
Delete those lines and upload your page manually and see whether the problem still occurs.
I know they caught this bug early this morning so I expect an updated version won't be far off.

I know it caused problems with meta tags I had inserted in my header area, hence my suspicion.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if a resync should be used at this point sense VSD now adds and uploads a php log file and all, I just tried using the code in a fresh page with no problems so I thought maybe it couldn't hurt if it hasn't been done.

Another thing is how in the hec do you change the background color of a page that is already white.
NOTE: version 5.94 put the same comments (<!--inserted by user--> in the coding when coding was added in the head section using the edit header option-with no problems for me anyway.
I did do a test in html editor and sure as winter comes it changedthe page white,

<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
padding : 0px;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
a:link {
color: #0000ff;
}
a:visited {
color: #800080;
}
</style>
so I changed the #FFFFFF to #780024 andit put the color back how weird is that.

Bruzer: 5.94 caused me the same problems, actually. The space in the middle of the <!-- (so it comes out <! --) seems to make browsers close the <head> section too soon so anything after the malformed comment can get treated badly. It was part of the problem I had getting 5.94 code to validate.
You bring up a good question, though: if you're using VSD there's already a place to change the color to what you want, what's the value added in putting a background color in via the header editor? I'm confused on that point. What am I missing?

maybe it's easier to get the exact color you want vs what is available,Like in color scemer you can adjust your colors to the way you want it from a white to off white and have a different rgb number, hense placing that code in the header.I think. Or a red to a candy apple red!
