Hi Tinchie,

I also face alot many problems using asserts. Try direclty retreiving the colour value using DOM concepts.
Then you can put a check on the retrieved value. You can post your code snippet where the color value is set. Will try to get the color value.

hi pankaj,

i think i already got the idea of the colors.....

#F5F5F5 = rgb(245, 245, 245)

where F5 when converted to decimal, it is equal to 245.. so F5F5F5, you group it by 2's F5-F5-F5 , is equal to 245-245-245......

so:

#F5F5F5 = rgb(245, 245, 245)

but i dont understand with white... #FFFFFF = transparent
i've tried with other colors and they work when i do those things above...

i think that's how i did it.... any other suggestion?

thanks

Hi,

You are right. thats exactly how it works. #FFFFFF = rgb (255,255,255).
No further thoughts as of now..:(
