The following code has been generated within one of my site pages….
<body width="" margin-left="" height=""
margin-top="" id="wrapper"
style="margin-left: 0px; width: 749px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-image: url(../images/patt_4b471c7dbece3.JPG);"
alink="#ee0000" link="#0000ee" vlink="#551a8b">
…My problem is the last parameter???!!!
How it got there?
What does it do?
How can it be removed?
The latter question being the most critical for me as this "invader" seems to have nullified my page centering (wrapper) in the browser!
CAN ANYONE HELP?
P.S. If I edit this last line out, all my content between <head> and </head> gets zapped!!!???
