Changing the Background
 Making the background a color or an image.
As you saw earlier in this course, you can change the background color of your page.
<BODY BGCOLOR=LIME>
or
<BODY BGCOLOR="#9999FF">

For a nice table of the standard 216 Netscape colors, visit IconBazaar at

www.iconbazaar.com/color_tables

Use both BACKGROUND and BGCOLOR so that someone who has images turned off in their preference (who won't see the background image) will see the background color.

Here's what I specified for the background of this page:

<body background="../images/cloudbackground.jpg" bgcolor="#6699CC" text="BLACK">

If you look carefully, you will notice that the background color is loaded first and then the background image.

I would appreciate comments, corrections, and
suggestions for how I can improve this course.
