<td class="alt1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function ColorsOff()
{
 ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
 ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
}
function ColorsOn()
{
 ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
 ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=0)";
}
function changeButton()
{
 if (document.onoff.B1.value=='Colors Off')
 {
 document.onoff.B1.value='Colors On';
 ColorsOff()
 }
 else
 {
 document.onoff.B1.value='Colors Off';
 ColorsOn()
}
}
//-->

Think "People With Visual Impairments". It may actually be quite useful to the "usually forgotten minority". To be visually impaired is a huge problem for some surfers as they have great difficulty with certain colours. Having a button to swith off colours can be a huge asset on a specialist website. Not 'useless' at all.

Good job Mazinger!

Exactly! Thanks for the info.

It didn't work on my test board. BTW, the button appeared below the Navbar. 3.6.8 PL1. TIA.

I tested it on IE - not sure about FF, probably I can test it on FF this week.

@Fungsten, add the code above this:

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Here's where I put it:

</tr>
</table>
<!-- colors form -->
<td class="alt1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function ColorsOff()
{
ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(gray scale=1)";
}
function ColorsOn()
{
ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(gray scale=0)";
}
function changeButton()
{
if (document.onoff.B1.value=='Colors Off')
{
document.onoff.B1.value='Colors On';
ColorsOff()
}
else
{
document.onoff.B1.value='Colors Off';
ColorsOn()
}
}
//-->
</script>
<form name="onoff">
<input type="button" value="Colors Off" name="B1" class="button" style="width: 80px;" onClick="changeButton()" />
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / colors form -->
<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->
