Also, added the action to the html container. Does it matter that this container is the 3rd layer in ? I have a background container, a body container and then this one is inside that.
Could you upload your example again? If I can see where the ID is
ending up, I may be able to help you get the right CSS selector to
target the “list items”.

I inserted the code into the first button option.

Okay. One issue I see is that the code you’re pasting into Protaculous
seems to have curly quotes in it, so it’s not working as JavaScript.
Are you copying this from the Web, or are you an e-mail subscriber to
this list?
Here’s a Gist with the exact code, and hopefully that won’t get mangled.
If you’re looking at this on the Web, be sure to click on the Raw link
and copy the code, then paste into the Function Body editor in Freeway.
I am not an email subscriber, so I was just copying what was above in the post.
What is a Gist ??
Anyway, I copied the above post and it works !!!
Every other one is appearing in color. Now all I have to do is put in the correct color code, right ??
I have to write all these instructions down. This is good…it will save a lot of extra mouse clicking in the future.
But, How do I learn what each of the above steps means ?
A good place to start is with JavaScript: The good parts by Douglas
Crockford. Also anything published by O’Reilly on the subject. For
more detail about Prototype, go to http://prototypejs.org and start
reading the API and the documentation, which are both very good. Both
presume a passing understanding of JavaScript in particular or
programming in general.
So, I was copying extra elements ??
Yeah, I still don’t know how that happened. If you were viewing this
on the FreewayTalk Web site, I can confirm that you should have seen
plain text there. If you were reading it in Mail, I sent it out as
text-only mail without any curly-quotes formatting.
Where were you reading it, and what were you using to read it
(browser, e-mail application) and what OS and version?
You’re welcome, sorry the light didn’t come on until now.
From your most recent post (minus the color code change, of what I am experimenting with.
I am on Mac OS 10.6.5, reading this in Firefox, on this site.
I am not sure about the character encoding. I have my settings in this document at HTML 4.01 Transitional, more readable, unix, with reinforce layout tables and external stylesheets both checked.
Thanks, Walter.
If I have something incorrect on the html settings, please let me know.
Also, thanks for the resource information. I will check it out. Just been toying with this website stuff for a couple of years now… it is definitely learning a new language !
