[1stPage] [My Computer] [!Virus Writers!] [Colors Comparison] [Learning HTML] [Graphics Primer] [Rantz'n'Ravz] TEXT, LINK and BGCOLOR Comparison Tables Hello. Well, it finally happened...I've deleted my TEXT, LINKS, and BGCOLOR Comparisons pages for viewers using non-frames and non-JavaScript enabled browsers. I didn't receive any desperate e-mails asking me to save it, despite my having an easy e-mail link within close proximity. Ah well, those that needed it have likely already saved it somewhere, as I suggested they might, on my Rantz'n'Ravz page. Or, equally possible, is that I'm the only person left, in the world, running a computer with a non-frames, non-JavaScript browser still installed. Oh well, I'm slow to upgrade until the browser manufacturers get most of the bugs (sometimes stated as 'features'...) out of their programs, and, well, confidentially, I don't mind cruising Frames and JavaScript pages without an ability to enjoy them, because, I don't particularly enjoy crashing browsers, and the necessity to burn time through ScanDisks and DeFrags!! Anyway...all of the colors listed upon this page can be used as TEXT, LINKs, and BGCOLORs, and, if you wish to see how the different combinations work with each other, if you have a JavaScript-enabled Internet browser, you can go ahead and check out my JavaScript Colors Comparison page. My BODY tag, for this page, contains the following commands: BGCOLOR="WHITE" TEXT="BLACK" LINK="BLUE" ALINK="SLATE" VLINK="CHOCOLATECARAMEL". Yes, yes, there are those who state that the best way to 'name' colors is to use either the Hexidecimal or RGB numerical values, however, those particular 'fans' cannot somehow explicitly state which browsers actually support Hex or RGB values to the exclusion of regular color names. I use the color names because they are much easier to remember, and, I usually don't need to open up a page that I can use to decipher Hex or RGB values. Yes, every one of the colors below can be used as TEXT, LINK,or BGCOLORs. Even if you wish to use an image for your background, you can try 'averaging' the colors in that image, like 'mostly violet', 'mostly orange', etc., and get a good impression of what color(s) would be good for text and links on top of that image! ![]() Also, please let me know if your browser doesn't allow the use of color names!
Many thanks go to Jeff Barta (Mr. Graphic Designer), without whom these tables wouldn't be as filled as they are!
