Introduction to FontsĪll text on a web page is in a font. What if you wanted control over the colors of specific pieces of text on your page? For that you need to learn about the FONT tag. Not too tough, huh? But these BODY attributes affect all the text on a web page.
The background for the page will be white (the bgcolor attribute, "#ffffff" is the hex code for white), the text (the text value, "#000000", is the hex code for black) will be black, links (the link attribute) will be blue, and visited links (the vlink attribute) will be red. If I add these attributes to the BODY tag, it will look like this: The vlink attribute affects the color of links that have been visited on a web page (the default color for visited links is purple). The link attribute affects the color of the linked text on a page (the default color for links is blue). The text attribute affects the color of regular text (text that is not linked) on a page. There are more attributes we can put in the BODY tag that will affect the color of text and links on a web page. Always preview your choices in a web browser! You don't want to overwhelm people with your color choices, so bright yellow is probably not a good background color. This is a good time to put in a word about color choices.
"#ffffff" is the code for white, and you need to always use the "#" and enclose the hex code in quotations (it's a value of an attribute, remember). Click here to see some of the possibilities. There are literally hundreds of possible hex codes you can apply to a background. Here is what it looks like in the BODY tag: Here is what the attribute looks like: bgcolor="#ffffff" To change the background color, you need to add an attribute and a color value to the opening BODY tag (you never add an attribute to a closing tag!).
