Example color page

This is the example page. Notice the color of this link to go back to the page you've come here from. You've already been there, so it's a visited link. Here's a link to a page you might not have been to today, the homepage of CNN News. Notice, too, if you click down on the link, it chages color. That's the "active link" color.

Here's the code for this page (minus this section); the code is shown in the color ffcc00 just so it's more legible:

<html><head>
<title>Example Color page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000077" text= "#ccccff" link= "#99ffff" alink= "#ffcc00" vlink= "#ffccff">
<basefont size=4>
<h1>Example color page</h1>
<b>This is the example page. Notice the color of this link to go back to the <a href="colors.html">page you've come here from.</a> You've already been there, so it's a visited link. Here's a link to a page you might not have been to today, <a href="http://www.cnn.com">the homepage of CNN News</a>. Notice, too, if you click down on the link, it chages color.

</body>
</html>

You can copy that code above and paste it into a simple text page such as SimpleText for Macintosh or WordPad for Windows. Save it with .html after the name (in Windows, be sure to save it as a text file), and open it up with your Internet browser (e.g. Netscape, Explorer, etc.). Each time you make changes, be sure to hit the "reload" button to see what your new changes create. (I hope you do make changes...these colors aren't very compatible together!)
