COLOR

By now you remember: It takes 4 pair of tags to make a web page.

<HTML>: <HEAD><TITLE> </TITLE></HEAD>; <BODY> </BODY>
</HTML>

Well, adding color means adding a bit more code -- the back ground color attribute to the body tag.

<HTML>: <HEAD><TITLE> </TITLE></HEAD>; <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> </BODY>
</HTML>

or, if you prefer named color to numbered color use the following.

<HTML>: <HEAD><TITLE> </TITLE></HEAD>; <BODY BGCOLOR="white"> </BODY>
</HTML>

Once this attibute is added, it may be changed to different colors.

14th: Type or select/copy/paste the background code -- BGCOLOR="#ffffff" -- to the page saved in step 13 or this page, then edit/save/refresh the page as in step 13.

On this page the back ground color is a gray which is an equal mix of red, green, and blue. See the body tag: <BODY BGCOLOR="DCDCDC" leftmargin="20">. The color is written in hexadecimal (base 16) notation

Often the default background color is white, font color is black, links is maroon, active links is red.

15th: Edit the color name to change the color on your page. Use the #RedGreenBlue Color Table or the Colors by Name & Number page as a guide. Close these pages after use.

Color is used for things other than page back ground. Table back ground, links, visited links, active links and text/fonts also have color attributes.

LINKS = TAGS + LOCATION

Links or jumps make the web the web. They provide the interconnectivity.

Links take you to there, from here..
