I've seen sometimes certain websites will have their pages go completely black and white (or grayscale). How do you do that?

Hello? Anyone? Don't hold out on me. Think like when you log out of MC, and the whole page goes black and white, only the page would stay black and white the whole time.

I thought that was just a Windows XP thing, or possibly a forum thing, that the page goes all greyscale and whatnot when you sign out. I've never heard of a site doing that and staying that way. You could make your site all in greys, but I don't think there's a way to make it colour and greyscale it. Do you have an example of a site doing this?

Harpies Bizarre (http://www.harpiesbizarre.com) used to have what they called "B&W Wednesdays" (since the first two seasons of Bewitched were filmed in black and white). They don't seem to do it anymore, but yes, every Wednesday, the site was rendered to total black and white. I'm thinking there's some special kinda META tag for it, but I'm not sure.

Why don't you ask them then?

Yeah, that would probably be the best idea, Snowthy.

That's bizarre. What did they say, just that they don't want to share the code?

Ah, it's too late now, I had to de-colorize everything myself. So, KGZ's ready for the new year!

Most sites nowadays are done in Flash; a program which you can do anything. You just have to purchase and learn it. Either way; that kind of effect is going to require some additional software.

GRRR I used to have Flash, but thanks to a virus, I no longer have it! Nor Fireworks, so I can no longer do graphics and such for my site!

Never heard of a web page doing that. But then again nothing surpises me anymore. I've think I seen every web trick in the book, but how to do it? That's something I'll never figure out in a million years. lol Unless I plan to become a hacker or a computer buff. ;)
