The old-fashioned standard html way of doing it is to put a text attribute in the <body> tag, like so:
<body text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000"> where ‘text’ is the color of the text in your listing, ‘link’ is link color, ‘vlink’ is visited link color, or the color of the links that the visitor has clicked, and ‘alink’ is the color of links that are active, or highlighted.
Niteflirt won’t let you do it this way, and if you try you’ll first get a message that you can’t put “text” within the <body> tag, and then that you aren’t allowed ‘link’, ‘vlink’, or ‘alink’ either. So what you have to do is trick it. The formula that’s searching though your code for banned snippets is looking for the entire word ‘ text’ with a space before it. You can add a ‘border’ attribute and remove those pesky spaces, and even though the code is really nonstandard, it will still work.
<body border="0"text="#000000"link="#000000"vlink="#000000"alink="#000000">
will make all the text on the page black, as #000000 is the hex code for black. There are also a number of color names you can use. So
<body border="0"text="red"link="pink"vlink="maroon"alink="purple">
will give you red text, pink links, maroon visited links, and purple active links. Of course it will do it in your listing, too. You probably don’t want that. So what you do is put it at the very bottom of your listing.
You can just copy and paste this, but you should pick a different color than pink, which is really hard to see, maybe like "#ff00ff", which is a hot pink.
<body border="0"text="red"link="#ff00ff"vlink="maroon"alink="purple">
Just in general you should look at the colors on your page to make sure they are dark enough to read and pick a different color if they are not really easy to see. Yellow feedback on a white background won’t work. Take my word for it.
