I have a simple fading gallery with five images. Before the first image fades in, the java shows a black block - no image there, so black. How can I make this white, rather than black?

start from a colour code of #ffffff instead of #000000

Thanks, Chris. Thing is, I'm not used to Java. I know that #ffffff is the html and css colour code for white, but not sure how to define this as the starting colour for Java. Looked in the script file, and there isn't a starting colour defined, so can't just change it....

Javascript. Java is a different thing entirely.

It's probably a variable (or CSS) and as a numeric variable will be 0 when instantiated ...

Hi Chris.
Thanks. You were right about the CSS. This is the line that needed changing from black to white:
.css({position:'absolute', left:0, top:0, width:'100%', height:'100%', background:'white'}). It was in the javascript script, not the CSS, which was confusing me.
