Hi hope someone can help, I am trying to change the font colour in a dynamic template. It is default climb and I have tried using
[<font color = "black">".....I can't climb that!"</font color>] ------but I get this error
Error running script: Error evaluating expression 'DynamicTemplate(this.defaulttemplate, object)': Error compiling expression '<font color = "black">".....I can't climb that!"</font color>': SyntaxError: Unexpected token "<"; expected one of "NOT", "-", <INTEGER>, <REAL>, <STRING_LITERAL>, "True", "False", <HEX_LITERAL>, <CHAR_LITERAL>, "null", <DATETIME>, <TIMESPAN>, "(", <IDENTIFIER>, "if", or "cast"Line: 1, Column: 1
I have the used syntax in the ordinary templates and they work great. The reason I am doing this is so I have one colour on the typed words and another on the answer words. Hope you can understand that thanks Terry Happy Adventuring

I'd put the tags inside the quotes with the text. And use single quotes around the color to make it work inside the string. \also note that "color" is an attribute of the font tag; it's not part of the element name.

["<font color = 'black'>.....I can't climb that!</font>"] 

Hi Jay you are a life saver thanks a million. By the way I'm sorry for being thick but how do you mean (that "color" is an attribute of the font tag; it's not part of the element name.) I'm not clear on that? but Happy adventuring
P. S. What happened to the testing of the new game between you and Sgreig? Haven't heard anymore. Terry

In the original post you wrote that you closed the tag with </font color>, but "color" shouldn't be written in the closing tag as it is just one of the options you can select within the <font> tag. i.e. it's an attribute of the font tag, not a distinct tag itself.

Liam thanks for that will get rid of color, but I'm still not clear about the rest, sorry told you I was thick didn't I. Terry Oh well Happy Adventuring

The tag you are using is a font tag. So it generally looks like this:

<font>some text here</font>

You can apply attributes to that tag. One of them is "color". Another is "size". You'd add an attribute like this:

<font color="red">some text here</font>

Note that the color="red" part does not change the overall fact that you are still within a "font" tag. You don't add "color" to the close - it's still just "font".

You could add even more:

<font color="red" size="2" face="verdana">some text here</font>

(Regarding your question about the game with Scott, I don't know. I thought he was going to hand it out.)

!Eureka!
Thanks a million Jay I understand that now thanks for being patient. Terry Happy Adventuring
