Why is my text black?

Hi everyone.
I'm totally new to dreamweaver as well as css.  Am fumbling around working on my first project.
http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html
There is a menu bar towards the top of the screen.  It's black text on a grey background.  It is supposed to be white text on a grey background so it's easily readable.
The menu is set as an asset in my assets folder.
I have some CSS controlling the asset but it will not take effect and work on the text. 
Here is the CSS for the asset
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #999;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;
-->
</style><body link="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF"><a href="../index2.html">Home</a> | <a href="../Pages/companyHistory.html">Company History</a> | <a href="../Pages/contactInformation.html">Contact Information</a> | <a href="http://www.ftworthremodel.com">Remodeling</a>
I don't have any html or css controlling the asset or DIV in which it's located on the index2.html homepage.
I am stumped.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, I opened up your source code for the site.  Here's what you need to do.
Take the styles after "<div id="mainMenu">" and move them back into the head.  Delete the link styles in already in the head as they're just redundant:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link {
     color: #FFF;
     text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #FFF;
a:hover {
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #999;
a:active {
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #FFF;
-->
</style>
So now instead of looking like this:
a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
-->
</style>
<script src="index2_files/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID {visibility:hidden}</style><style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID2 {visibility:hidden}</style></head><body link="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff">
<div id="container">
  <div id="header"></div>
  <div id="mainMenu"><style type="text/css">
<!--
a:link {
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #999;
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
-->
</style><a href="http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html">
It should look like this:
a:link {
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #999;
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
-->
</style>
<script src="index2_files/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID {visibility:hidden}</style><style media="screen" type="text/css">#FlashID2 {visibility:hidden}</style></head><body link="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff">
<div id="container">
  <div id="header"></div>
  <div id="mainMenu"><a href="http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html">

  • Why is background black and text black so you cannot see what you are typing

    Why is the background black and the text black.  You cannot see what you are typing or read the text of posts?

    Hi dlwhit,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the background and text being black.  The sidebars are black, but the text is supposed to show up on a white background.  I haven't seen this, nor has anyone else reported this issue yet.
    Can you give more information where you see black on black text so we can try to correct it?
    Thanks,

  • Why is the text in the resume template invisible?

  • Why new Flash Text Engine (FTE) renders characters incorrectly? (Sometimes there is a space)

    I have been trying to create a HTML Wrapper for my CMS, but the old TextField just cant do it.
    With the new much more versatile Flash Text Engine (I am not reffering to FTL), I have successfuly created the wrapper. However i have one problem.
    WHY new Flash Text Engine sometimes added a space between 2 characters? it makes the text ugly
    I have uploaded the image to prove my point
    Please Note : That the Left Side is the HTML Text Render (which correctly render all texts)
    With KERNING set to "on" , check the word 'underline' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
    With KERNING set to "off", check the word 'Text' and the word 'paragraph' (I have marked it with red circle)
    Now, is there any solution? hell, i should have turned 'on' the kerning right? but both turning 'on' and 'off' presents a problem of their own (in how they add a space randomly)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, or even a "you should look at Class X" will be enough (I am quite proficient in ActionScript 3.0)
    Cheers and God Bless,

    You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
    Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
    Close Firefox.
    Restart Firefox.
    And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
    Thanks anyway Mr.

  • Why is the text not the visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?

    Long story short:
    I've created a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and saved it as PDF. With the .pdf open now in Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 I have enabled the protection over the .pdf file by only allowing Printing and saved the protected .pdf. All of these actions are made on Windows 7 machine. Now when trying to open the protected .pdf on Mac (with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Preview) the .pdf opened only shows the lines and bullets but not the text.
    Why is the text not visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?
    (is this bug or a "feature"?)
    Note: the protected .pdf looks good on Windows 7 and it works on Mac if the .pdf has no protection.
    Thanks!

    A. What application are you using to add the protection? Reader cannot add any file security and I don't think the PDF feature of Word will either.
    B. Mac Preview has issues with PDF standards so there may be some features that you will experience issues with that have no workarounds.
    C. Have you checked the file after adding security to see if all fonts are embedded?

  • Why is predictive text not working on my iPhone 5s anymore

    Why is predictive text not working on my iphone anymore

    Actually, I just found the answer to my issue in this thread: The type correct/predict function for mail and text in iOS 8.0.2 was working fine then suddenly disappeared and reverted to the old style. I've checked all settings that seemed appropriate. How do I restore? I actually liked the new version. 
    Which says "a thin gray bar with a white dash in the middle of it immediately above the keyboard, you can reopen the suggestions by sliding up with one finger on the white dash." 
    That did it.
    I too have noticed a change, it seems with the new IOS update. My Predictive setting is on, but it seems before it would come up more often in predicting words and also give me a few choices. Now, it's not coming up as much and only providing one 'predictive' word which is not always right. This change is not very useful.

  • Why is the text going over the image????

    Please refer to video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rN6Ndm9sFo&feature=youtu.b
    Why is the text going over the image when the text layer is below the image layer?? It is so frustrating.

    Are you sending the texts to his phone number or his Apple ID? It might be that the texts originated from your phone is to his Apple ID and not his phone number and his Apple ID was not registered for the Message app on his phone. So any texts to his Apple ID is not received by his phone.
    Can you receive his texts? If yes, then reply back from what he send you and see if he can receive the texts.

  • Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Why is the text garbled when I convert a pdf file to  microsoft word ?

    Hi amedah,
    Could you please try converting any other PDF file with same fonts and then check.
    It might also happen due to use of some poor fonts which result in garbled text.
    Is the PDF scanned?
    Let me know.

    Not necessarily an iPhone but rather if they have iMessage support at the address you're using.
    If you're using an email address they could have an iOS device or a Mac.

  • Why is the text so small in the log in screen?

    I am visually-impaired.  Why is the text so small in the log in screen?

    You can try to set the display resolution to something like 1024x768 (from the "Best for display") in the "Displays" System Preferences - this will "enlarge" things on the login screen as well as after, (the trick about using the Option key to zoom does not work on the login screen), and then after logging in, reset the Display resolution back to "Best for display".
    To use the "Option" key for zooming -- set in the "Accessibility" System Preference Zoom options "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom" to Option.
    Not sure, but you might also be able to affect this by changing the default system font. If the above doesn't help, say so and will do a bit more research to see how to change this and see if it also applies to the login screen
    Good luck...

  • On the iPhone, why do some texts show up in blue and some in green?

    Dumb question.. Why do some texts show up in blue and some in green on the iPhone?

    Not dumb at all. The blue ones are iMessages, while the green ones are regular text messages.

  • Why am I seeing my daughter's contacts only on my MB (synced I assume from her iPhone) and why does my text messaging on the MB all viewed like she is receiving them?  Even on my phone, a message I sent to myself as a test shows up as "mom"

    Why are my daughter's contacts the only one showing up on my MB and why do all text messages now, including on the MB and my iPhone show up now as if she's receiving them, even when they are sent to me based on her contact list?

    It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.
