Normally, a page opens with the <body> tag. But before you close the tag,
you might want to put any of the following colors in there. They all go in a
single <BODY> tag.
Not between the <body> and </body> tags, but IN BETWEEN the < and
the > of the <body> tag:
<body putyourcolorcodeshere>
My body tag for this page looks like this:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFF33" TEXT="#3366FF"
LINK="#FF0033" VLINK="#993399" ALINK="#006600">
- <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFF33">
- sets the background color for the page as a whole. (yellow)
- <BODY TEXT="#3366FF">
- sets the text color for the page as a whole.
- <BODY LINK="#FF0033">
- sets the unvisited link color for the page as a whole.
- <BODY VLINK="#993399">
- sets the visited link color for the page as a whole.
- <BODY ALINK="#006600">
- sets the activated link color (i.e. the color of the link as users click
on it) for the page as a whole.
- <FONT COLOR="#009966">This is how
you change just some text color</FONT>
- sets the color of selected text within a page.
The colors are all defined by hexadecimal codes (six numbers or letters for
each color).
simple ones are: 000000 for black and FFFFFF for white. you can use all
numbers and the letters A through F.
The first two characters give us _________ the next two characters give
us __________ and the last two characters give us ____________. (try it
out by keeping all numbers 0 and turn the three pairs to FF's.
Attention: DON'T FORGET TO TYPE THE # BEFORE THE CODE!
Advanced: you can not put part of the page in a color (there is only one
body)
but you can turn parts of the page in different colors by using the color codes
in the <FONT> tag or for a different background, you can put text in a
table with differemt background colors:
- <TABLE BGCOLOR="#CCFF99">
- sets the background color for an entire table.
- <TH BGCOLOR="#66FFFF">
- sets the background color for one header cell within a table.
- <TD BGCOLOR="#FFCCFF">
- sets the background color for one data cell within a table.
