My Survey blocks are always the same color as the background they are set against.

see:www.www.rynomediaonline.com/concrete5/grunge-columns/...

have you tried using firebug to see where your background is coming from?

Yours is the same as mine. Its transparent until you actually vote then the background of the graph is white.

I tried firebug and even setting the element to a different color and no luck yet.

I think there is a parameter you need to add in your rendering URL for Google charts. It seems to default to white background when the chart is being drawn, but it looks like you can set it to be transparent.

Okay sounds good. Any instruction on how to do this? I'm game for trying it out.

Add "chf=bg,s,65432100" to the SRC of

<img border="" src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p&chd=t:11,5&chs=180x180&chco=FFCC33,FFFF33" />

The background will be transparant.

<img border="" src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p&chd=t:11,5&chs=180x180&chf=bg,s,65432100&chco=FFCC33,FFFF33:<?php echo join(',',$optionResults)?>&chs=180x180&chco=<?php echo join(',',$graphColors)?>" />

That code did not work for me in 5.4.2 , well it made the chart but of 2 segments of a set size regardless of what data was entered. When I compared it to the original some of the php was messed up. This is what I used...

<img border="" src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p&chd=t:<?php echo join(',',$optionResults)?>&chs=180x180&chf=bg,s,65432100&chco=<?php echo join(',',$graphColors)?>" alt="<?php  echo t('survey results');?>" />
