Dear colleagues,
I use the following tag for the title of my profile:
(CENTER)(font color="blue")(H1)
Dolmetscher und Übersetzer für Chinesisch (/CENTER)(/font)(/H1)
I deliberately write () for the tag, so that you can see what tag I use for HTML.
But the color of the title "Dolmetscher und Übersetzer für Chinesisch" is green instead of blue. Does anybody know how I can change the color to blue?
Thanks,
Bin... See more Dear colleagues,

I have changed "blue" to "#0000ff", which is the code for the blue colour. But the title is still green.

Just joking...
Hm... This is strange. What is the colour depth of your system? Maybe you can increase the colour depth so that a wider range of colours can be represented? Also, when you look at pictures that show blue colours, like when you google "blue colour", do you see blue or also some green images?

Hi Bin,
(posted this earlier, but it's not showing up, so excuse me if it shows twice)
You need to properly nest your tags (1)(2)(3)text (/3)(/2)(/1)
You also need to use hexadecimal codes for the umlauts
and you might want to check to see if a css is attached to the webpage.
anyway, try this code (change brackets to proper html brackets):
(CENTER)(H1)(font color="blue")Dolmetscher und Übersetzer für Chinesisch(/font... See more Hi Bin,

Tomás, my eyes and my computer are otherwise fine.

The hexadecimal codes for the U- and u-umlaut are & Uuml; and & uuml;

After I changed (CENTER)(font color="blue")(H1) to (CENTER)(H1)(font color="blue"), the color has changed to blue. I have never cared about the order of the tags, just believed it does not matter.
Many thanks, Frank.

| CSS with colour for H1 style? | Jan 28, 2011 |
Frank van Thienen wrote:

Absolutely. Dumb me. Heading style H1 could have green as the colour in an associated CSS file. I think the CSS style could be that of Proz.com's...
Maybe instead of using H1 you could simply choose the font and size manually, with:
(CENTER)(FONT FACE="Tahoma" SIZE=19.5 COLOR="blue")Dolmetscher und Übersetzer für Chinesisch(/font)(/CENTER)
(Your profile has Tahoma at 19.5 points as far as I can see.)

| order of tags | Jan 28, 2011 |
I just tested a different sequence of tags, putting H1 on the inside, and that gives you the default (css) colour.
In other words, the specs of one tag (H1) may be overwritten by a subsequent (font colour) tag!
Glad it worked out

| The proper way | Jan 29, 2011 |
This is the proper way (with substitution of the angle brackets):
(H1 style="text-align: center; color: blue")Text(/H1)
The (font) tag has been deprecated for some time, as has the (center) tag. Using 'style' inside the H1 tag will override any default CSS settings.

If you want the page to show properly in UTF-8, just declare it in the header (between (HEAD) and (/HEAD)) and save the page in UTF-8. I wouldn’t normally bother to use HTML code for umlauted letters; I’d just type them out.
The declaration that I’d use is:
(meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8")
