This attribute is the big deal difference between this lesson and
Same as in Lesson #7. The BACKGROUND attribute is used to define a graphic that may be used in the (under) the text. The text will appear floating over the top of this graphic. The graphic is tiled repeatedly both horizontal and vertical to fill up the page.

text="#ffffff"
Same as in Lesson #7

link="#004000"
Same as in Lesson #7

vlink="#44aaff"
Same as in Lesson #7

alink="#ff00ff"
Same as in Lesson #7

Below we have a form that you may use to experiment with various combinations of colors for these attributes. Have fun.

Example HTML Code
<html>
<title>Page Title</title>
<body
          bgcolor=""
background=""
text=""
link=""
vlink=""
alink=""
>
</body>
</html>

You may use the handy form above to experiment with varying values for the text, link and other colors.

Here's the steps to use in testing:

1) Enter the combination of attribute values that you would like to test.

2)Press the button labeled "Test your values".

3)After looking over the results use the browser "Back" button or the vLink or aLink to return here.

You will notice in the use of backgrounds that often the text becomes unreadable in the relative confusion of the graphic. Use graphic backgrounds with caution.
