Adding Backgrounds

Adding a background to your page requires the use of a simple html tag. The tag is called the body tag and is placed directly under the

</head> tag. The body tag is made up of several different components. It will begin with <BODY and then the added components, ending with a '>'. Below is a table explaining each component that may be a part of the body tag. After each = sign a color is added.

What is Affected HTML Command Effect

Background bgcolor= Background color (before your graphic loads)

Text text= Text color

Active Link alink= Color of the link just clicked

Visited Links vlink= Color of visited links

Graphic Background background= Sets a graphic background (either .jpg or .gif)

The color code is inserted after the = sign like this: "#000000"
