Colours

The <BODY> command may have parameters. The parameters are positioned before the closing ">" of the command and seperated by blanks. For this page the following parameters have been used to assign colours:

background BGCOLOR
foreground TEXT
unvisited links LINK
visited links VLINK
active links ALINK

The colours are composed of three components, red, green and blue (RGB), with the intensity of each component ranging from 0-255 (decimal) or 00-FF (hexadecimal). You may also specify the name of a colour and not a hexadecimal number. For example:

<BODY BGCOLOR="YELLOW" TEXT="#FF0000"

LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#000080" ALINK="#00FF00">
