Hour 9Custom Backgrounds and Colors
Nearly every sample web page in Hours 1 through 8 has a white background and black text. In this hour, you’ll find out how to make pages with background and text colors of your choosing. You’ll also discover how to make your own custom background graphics and how to let the background show through parts of any image you put on your web pages.
Try It Yourself
The black-and-white figures printed in this book obviously don’t convey colors very accurately, so you may want to view the sample pages online. You can also try the colors on your own web pages as you read about how to make them.
