What is wrong with this page?
I see what I expect to see in IE 5.0 and Netscape 6.1. I see red text on a white background in Opera 5.12, but black text on a white background in Opera 6.0.Code:<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: 6666CC;
}
p {
color: FF0000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an ugly page.</p>
</body>
</html>
***? Is Opera that messed up? I have it in document or author mode, and I have selected to use the author's CSS, but... what?
According to the CSS specs, for "accessibility" reasons, you have to set color and background color at the same time per tag.
I didn't see that, but it makes sense.
Regretably, that makes no difference. Did I do it wrong?Code:<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
color: 000000;
background-color: 6666CC;
}
p {
color: FF0000;
background-color: transparent;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an ugly page.</p>
</body>
</html>
Do the specs allow you to leave off the # in front of the color hex? I know you can use an alternate rgb() color format.
That was is it. It is now working in Opera 5.12 and 6. Now that I know the reason, I'm a (very) little upset that Netscape 6 didn't break, too.
Thanks.
