WEEK 12 -- Tables and Colors

In Netscape 2.01+ you can specify colors within table cells.
For each <TD> specify the BGCOLOR you want (BGCOLOR is the same descriptor used in the <BODY> tag which specifies the background color of your document).
You can also specify FONT COLOR if your <TD BGCOLOR="#RRGGBB"> is dark (as in row three of the table).

For Example:

This is row one, cell one.	This is row one, cell two.	This is row one, cell three.
This is row two, cell one.	This is row two, cell two.	This is row two, cell three.
This is row three, cell one.	This is row three, cell two.	This is row three, cell three.

The HTML looks like this:

<TABLE BORDER=1> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#FFFF80">This is row one, cell one.</TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">This is row one, cell two.</TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#00FFFF">This is row one, cell three.</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#FF8000">This is row two, cell one.</TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#FF80C0">This is row two, cell two.</TD> <TD>This is row two, cell three.</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#000000"><FONT COLOR="FFFFF0">This is row three, cell one.</FONT></TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#000080"><FONT COLOR="FFFFF0">This is row three, cell two.</FONT></TD> <TD BGCOLOR="#800040"><FONT COLOR="FFFFF0">This is row three, cell three.</FONT></TD> </TR> </TABLE>
