More HTML - Colors
HTML color tags are described at numerous URL's listed in the Lesson 6 Glossary. Here are a few more: (if any of these do not work, Google html colors and you will find many web sites).
HTML word colors - http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/colors.html
Hexadecimal color codes - http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html
Here are a few additional comments about colors. HTML tags for colors begin with a quotation " mark and the pound # sign, as in "#xxyyzz" where the xxyyzz are varying amounts of red, green, and blue. These values are usually expressed in hexadecimal code. Colors may also be applied to text. An example is <font color="#ff0000">red text</font>which would produce red text. Colors may also be applied to the following:
- <body>, as in <body bgcolor="#ff0000"> (produces a red background color for entire page).
- text; (entire words as seen above), single letters, entire paragraphs
- <td>:, a table cell, as in <td bgcolor="#ff0000">: would produce a red table cell
- <table>, as in <table bgcolor="#ff0000"> would produce a table with a red background .
- You can combine bgcolor for tables and cells, as well as text colors, in the same table:
- <!--the first line below creates a table 80 pixels wide with bgcolor-->
- <!--these 2 lines would not be displayed in a browser-->
<table border bgcolor="#ff0000" width="80">- <!--this line creates the first row and a cell with bgcolor #0000ff, font color #00ff00-->
<tr><td bgcolor="#0000ff"><font color="#00ff00">some</font></td>- <!--this code creates an empty cell, and ends the row-->
- <td>& nbsp; </td></tr>
- <!--a second row is created (see below), and table is ended-->
-
<tr><td>& nbsp; </td><td bgcolor="#00ff00">text</td></tr>
</table>some text - Note: Color CANNOT be reliably applied to <hr>, a line
