You saw in the previous chapter how every HTML document
includes the
<body> tag to
enclose its content. By including attributes in the <body> tag, you can control certain aspects of document
rendering. Let us cover these attributes one by one:
The Background
Unless you specify otherwise, a browser will render an HTML
document on a white background. You can specify either a color or an image for
the background. To specify a background color other than white, include the
bgcolor attribute in the <body> tag. You can specify either
a color name or a numerical value for the color. For example, the following <body> tag creates a document with a medium gray background:<body bgcolor='#999999'>
To display an image in the page background, use the
background attribute to specify the URL of the image:
<body background='url of the image'>
Here’s example:
<body background='images/mypic.gif'>
If the image is smaller than the browser window, it will be
repeated to fill the area.
Background Cautions
When using a background for your Web page, either a color or
an image, it is important to ensure that the text on the page remains easily
readable. Black text on a blue background, for example, can be tough to read.
link : the color of
normal linksalink : the color
of an active link (the user has pressed but not yet released the mouse button
on the link)vlink : the color
of links the user has visited
Each of these attributes could be set to a color name, RGB
color value, or hex color value as described earlier.
Default Text
The default text color is black. To specify a different text color, use the text attribute in
the
<body> tag and set it to a
different color. This <body> tag, for example, sets the default text
color to blue.<body text='#0000FF'>
You can still set selected portions of text to different
colors using the
<font> tag, which will be covered later in this section.
