Hello

I have the following CSS between the <head></head> tags:

<style type="text/css">
a:link {color:white;}
a:visited {color:white;}
a:active {color:white;}
body { background:black;
color:white }
div { font-family: verdana; font-style: normal; }
</style>

and further down the page I have a few Response.write statements:

Response.Write "Please click <a href='javascript:history.back(1)'>here</A> to type in your name"
elseif strSubject = "" then

Response.Write "Please click <a href='javascript:history.back(1)'>here</A> to type in your subject</font>"
elseif strMessage = "" then

Response.Write "Please click <a href='javascript:history.back(1)'>here</A> to type in your message"
elseif strEmail = "" then

Response.Write "Please click <a href='javascript:history.back(1)'>here</A> to type in your Email"
end if
Response.End

Can I ask where SHOULD the <div></div> tags go because I keep getting Times Roman as the font face?

Furthermore, some people seem to prefer keeping all the <% %> comments in one part of the page, and HTML/CSS in another (it seems tidier that way), while others (many others, in fact), seem to mingle everything together. Are there any tutorials on this anywhere? Can't seem to find much from a Yahoo! search.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dave

Many thanks for your reply. I liked the Select Case!

For some reason, though, the entire page is black! It is here: This is the entire code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%option explicit%>

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<style type="text/css">
a:link {color:white;}
a:visited {color:white;}
a:active {color:white;}
body { background:black;
color:white }
div { font-family: verdana; font-style: normal; font-color: white }

</style>

</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="BLACK">
<center>

<%
dim objRS, strSQL
dim strName, strSubject, strMessage, strEmail, strDate, strTime

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Forum"
set objRS = server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn,1,2

strName = Request.Form("txtName")
strSubject = Request.Form ("txtSubject")
strMessage = Request.Form ("txtMessage")
strEmail = Request.Form("txtEmail")
strDate = (Date)
strTime = (Time)

strMessage = Replace(strMessage,chr(10),"<BR>")

If strName="" or strSubject="" or strMessage="" or strEmail="" Then
Response.Write "<div>Please click <a href=""" &_
"javascript:history.go(-1)"">here</A> to type in your "
Select Case ""
Case strName Response.Write "Name"
Case strSubject Response.Write "Subject"
Case strMessage Response.Write "Message"
Case Else Response.Write "Email"
End Select
Response.Write "</div>" & vbCrLf
End If
Response.End

objRS.AddNew
objRS("Name") = strName
objRS("Subject") = strSubject
objRS("Message") = strMessage
objRS("Email") = strEmail
objRS("Date") = strDate
objRS("Time") = strTime

objRS.Update

Response.Write "<center>The guestbook has been updated with your message</center>"
Response.Write "<center>Please click <a href='gbook.asp'>here</A> to go back to the guestbook</center>"

%>
</center>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Can't understand why it should be black! It's here and if you fill in the form, you'll see what I mean:

Cheers and thanks for your time.

Hello Dave again

Thanks for your post.

I've inserted your suggestion, but it hasn't changed anything.

I'll try messing about with it a bit more and see what happens!

Cheers
