Your ending challenge

Can you practice making a simple table and making each of the cells a different color?

Here are two internet sites with great color tables.

  1. A simple but good chart
  2. An interactive chart
1.
Let us look at the way we insert colors on a web page. Please do not be yellow with fear,green with envy, or red with anger,but be rather bold and vivid as we play with the color chart.
2.

We already learned to use a background color with the command: <bg color="# ? ">, where ? mark = the hexidecimal color. But we can also put in a background picture the same way. The command is <body background="key.gif">. Because images can be rather busy, I am just placing it in one cell.
3.

This is too busy. In Photoshop I would lighten the background by 50% and try again.

4.

Now we can practice the command for background row cell color. It is <tr bgcolor="#">.
5.
Color continues across each cell as you make it.
6.

Want one cell to be colored special? Put your color # in just after your td tag, like this: <td=bgcolor"#">
7.

Or perhaps you like another color? Now you know how to make a color chart.

Now you are a color CODESLINGER. And that's all I have to say about that.
