Re: HEX EEEEEE COLORS WITH IE

That is one way of looking at it, but that still doesn't make them standards.

Well, Tom, it seems that all of the browser vendors are adopting a "standard" of adhering to the
recommendations.

There are no HTML standards, just recommendations.

This does NOT benefit the user. It confuses them. This attitude is what has gotten IE into the
hole it's in now - all this making nice stuff. There's a perfectly good set of standards out
there. They should not just ignore them willy nilly.

Very simple if the browser can understand what is want or is capable of display a page when the
code is badly written this is a benefit for the user * of the browser. Browsers that do not do
this penalize users as a way of get back at developers of the site, by making the site look
bad.

* User in this case, are folks that just want to view a web site for the info it contains, they
do not care how the site was coded, etc.

I guess whether IE's laissez-faire behavior is "wrong" or not could be debated, but I can't see
how you can call it "penalizing" for the other browsers to interpret code accurately and
correctly, Thomas.

IE doesn't penalized users if the code is wrong, but still readable, whereas other browsers
do.

Yep - as Patty notes, IE will forgive you. Other browsers will not. IE is wrong to do this.

Would that make it appear on one computer and not on another - I would assume
a missing octothorpe would be an all or nothing phenomenon?

All hex color values MUST be prefixed with the octothorpe "#". Have you
done this?

#DDDDDD?

I have a frontpage site where I've used hex colors EEEEEE and F2F2F2 to
display different shades of gray in a table. On my computer, and most
others, it displays fine. However, I have a client who apparently can't
display EEEEEE or F2F2F2 (they all look white on her screen). She can see
DDDDDD (which is almost the same), She has a ATI Radeon Xpress with Benq
monitor. Is this common? Should I use a different color, or is it simply
some problem with her setup. Thanks
