The problem with the border and text colors was more general than anything to do with double move variants. Tying this back into the history of Game Courier, I am currently studying HTML5, and I am trying out new ways to improve the forms with the use of new features in HTML5. One of these is the color type for the input element. This displays the color instead of its name or hexadecimal code, and it provides a color selector, like what you may find in a graphics program. But when I changed the input fields for the border and text colors to the color type, I learned that it expected the color code to begin with a #, and I had been allowing color codes without it. To fix this, I used a regular expression to test whether the pre-existing value PHP would populate the form with was a six-digit hexadecimal number without a preceding #, and if it was to add one. But I had forgotten to begin and end this regular expression with ^ and $, which caused it to return true for values that already had a preceding #, causing it to add an extra one, which caused the color to change to black.
The addition of the text color is new and incomplete. I think I still have to go through the scripts for displaying the board and change how they access the text color.
