HTML's that don't work on auctiva but do on ebay?

I just went in and created a custom template using the code you provided down below and got mixed results depending on the browser that I used. On IE the "shipping" text had the effect that you were wanting, while viewing that same code on Firefox only gave the Blue color and Red on rollover. I believe the issue you are experiencing is browser related not a problem with Auctiva.

If it helps, here's what Dreamweaver says about which errors will occur with which browsers:


Error The onmouseout attribute of the FONT tag is not supported.

Thanks, I use IE! When I loaded it on auctiva the shadow did not work just the 2 colors. But it works great on IE on ebay.

I will keep trying and see what it does.
