Changing Backgrounds[edit | edit source]
- To change the background color we use the following attribute:
background-color:select a color
Let's take our lorem ipsum paragraph and change the background color to blue and the font to white. Here is the attribute coding:
<p style="background-color:blue; color:white">Lorem ipsum...</p>
- Here is the result:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec sit amet iaculis metus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Fusce elementum efficitur faucibus. Curabitur eleifend quis ligula ac ullamcorper. Curabitur eget suscipit turpis.
Again, here is the link to a list of colors accepted by all browsers: list.
