Html Colour Coding

[+ryme-intrinseca]

Hello, I wonder if someone could help? I found a listing the other day, where all the text on the page (including the title, co-ordinates, etc.) was purple, and I want to make my own cache pages like this! The person who owns the page has told me that the code I need to use is:

 

color:#8900B7;

 

However, I don't know whereabouts I have to insert this - can someone help? And no matter *how* tempting it might be, no rude answers please!!!

 

Thank you!

Which page had the coords and the title colored?

I use these pages for learning HTML

Ooh, thanks for all the links!

 

Embarrassingly enough, I can't for the life of me remember which cache I was looking at, I know it was somewhere in Southern England, but that's not a lot of help! I think the person's name was Ali, but again.. not much help, I know!

 

I'll let you know if I find it!

I have not changed the color of text on cache pages, but the HTML text to do this on a standard Web page is.....

 

<font color="purple">Any text here</font>

 

The word purple can be replaced by a hexadecimal number like the one you had.

When writing your cache page be sure to check the little box "The descriptions below are in HTML" that will allow you to use the <font color=whatever> tag </font>

you'll have to modify the source code for the page form to change the color of the print above the description fields.

One correction to Isonzo Karst post. The whatever need to be surrounded by "quotes" .

 

Sorry, that's correct HTML.

where all the text on the page (including the title, co-ordinates, etc.) was purple

I think you all forgot to read this part. The simple <font color="purple">Any text here</font> won't do what she wants.

 

I accidentally changed the default colors on a cache page once but I don't remember how and the new html cleanup tool they use may not let you anyway.

arrrgh - keep the text clean and simple - trick out your avatar.

 

multi-color makes me feel like I'm being assaulted

That was probably an old cache page. I doubt if HTML Tidy will allow someone to pollute the rest of the cache page like that anymore.
