Why Casey Shouldn't Design Knoxify Anymore

Why Casey Shouldn’t Design Knoxify Anymore

16Jul2008 Filed under: Knoxify News, Popular Author: CP

I recently changed the background color of the comment form to better match the rest of the site. Mission accomplished.

What I didn’t know is that I made comment text the same color as the background. Fail.

So, you should now be able to comment on Knoxify without wondering if you’re going insane. Leave that to me, Casey. Sorry for the trouble everyone.

Lately I’ve been buried under a pile of work in the office. So, I haven’t given Knoxify the loving attention that it deserves. However, it sounds as though commenting would have been quite fun if I’d dropped by before you noticed your mistake! ;)

@Michael - I noticed it this morning when trying to reply to Doug’s comment about fishing. FAIL!

Hey Casey! Can you come fix my comments too? Since I can’t get it figured out. I’ve got every other one readable, but that’s not quite good enough.

That’s why it’s never a good idea to mess with form elements via CSS. Accessibility is an important feature.

@Missy - After reading this you’re brave enough to ask for my help? You’re something else. In all seriousness, I know exactly what’s going on with your code. I’ll try and remind myself to send you a note via e-mail.

@Patrick - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Maybe by working beside you I can take in your CSS knowledge via osmosis.
