New to the Internet Explorer version 2.0 is not only full table support (as you will find in many other browsers), but a few additional features that will help you gain a little more control over the presentation of tables on your page.
Here we will illustrate the use of the new BGCOLOR attribute with some interesting examples.
The BGCOLOR attribute can be associated with the TD tag (for coloring an individual cell), or with the TABLE tag (for specifying a color for the entire table). You can assign the color values by name or by hexidecimal value.
Here is a table that illustrates the possible named values:
Black | Silver | Gray | White | |
Maroon | Red | Purple | Fuchsia | |
Green | Lime | Olive | Yellow | |
Navy | Blue | Teal | Aqua |
<TD width=20 bgcolor=#111111> <A name=#111111 href=#111111>&NBSP;&NBSP;&NBSP; </A>This code will both name and link this cell to the anchor #111111, so when you move your mouse over the cell, the status bar will reflect the RGB value you need to specify for the BGCOLOR.
Black | White |
