The HTML coding is fairly simple.
For the background color
use this:
"body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
This produces a page with a white background because the color
code #FFFFFF is the code for white.
To change the text color, use the follow:
"body text="#000000"
This produces a page with black text because the color code
#000000 is the code for black.
To change the unvisited links color, use the follow:
"body link="#00FF00"
This produces a page with blue links because the color code
#00FF00 is the code for blue.
To change the active link color, use the follow:
"body alink="#DB70DB"
This produces a page with purple links while the link is active
because the color code #DB70DB is the code for purple.
To change the active link color, use the follow:
body vlink="#FF0000"
This produces a page with red visted links because the color
code #FF0000 is the code for red.
The color code are made up of 3 2-digit codes with each 2
digit code representing the amount of red, blue or green that
makes up the color. The digits are not base 10 numbers which
make them look strange to most people. They are actually
hexidecimal or base 16. So 10 in hexidecimal is 16 in base 10. A
color that starts with 00 has no red and a color that ends in 00
has no blue. A color that starts with FF has full red and a color
with FF as its middle pair of digits has full green.There now
several utilities for most computers to determine Netscape color
codes. There are also some other sites which have cgi programs
running which can help in choosing codes. This page was meant
to be a cross section of the 16 million codes now available.
Not every browser displays color the same way. For example, Netscape on Macintosh and Windows will sometimes dither color that make up the background. The dithering pattern makes text difficult to read. A solution is create with a graphics
program a small square image filled with the color that you want
for your background. Then use Netscape's background comand
within the body like so: "br"
"body background="red.gif" "br"
Remember to place a "/body" at the end of your html file.
