Re: Can not view colours

Hi,
Those pages (if I found the right ones at
http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html ) use the <bgcolor=" "> HTML
tag to display colors within cells. IE might be blocking/ignoring background
colors.

Take a look at these settings:
Internet Options> General> Accessibility
and
Control Panel> Accessibility Options> Display.
For most users, nothing should be checked.

Hope this helps,
