HTML Summary Section 6: Backgrounds and Colors

Codes discussed:
Background color
<body background="#123456">
This command goes in the body tag you've already created for your page. The six digit number (red, green, blue) can be found through the color tutorial. Color names may also be used.
Background pictures
<body background="clouds.jpg">
The image used as a background automatically tiles. Background color and images may both be used.
Text color
<body text="#123456>
<font color="#123456">Colored words</font>
To change the text color of the whole document, place the text command inside the body tag. To change a word, letter or phrase, use the <font> tag.
Font face
<font face="Arial">
Changing the face of the font may or may not work, depending on the user's computer. A section of font may be changed with this command. It can be combined with color codes

Link colors
<body link="blue" alink="red" vlink="green">
(This is the same as lt;body link="#0000ff" alink="#ff0000" vlink="#00ff00"> )
LINK refers to the color the link initially appears. ALINK is an active link, such as when you're hovering over it. VLINK is a visited link. These go int he <body> tag if you'd like these colors to apply to the whole document.
Text decoration
<a href="" style="text-decoration : none;" > no underline</a>
Decorations include underline, overline, none, and line-through. The above link will have no underline. Here is another example using a division.
