Changing colors

[Anders Christiansen]

This is most likely dead simple.. i just can't get it to work.

I want difrent color highlight on diffrent parts of my text. I want the
color of the text to be the same..

I hope someone can help me.

Remember that not every browser can display colour (and not every
person can distinguish colours well), so make sure if it's used for
essential information, there's another way to get at the information
too.

I think i was misunderstood.

What i want is a text all in black, that when i mark it with the mouse shows
diffrent colors.. e.g.

this is a test <br><br>

When marked with the mouse it should look like this<br><br>

<span style="background-color: blue;"> <font color=red>this is <font color=
white>a test </span>

Can't be done. Mouse selection colour is entirely chosen by the visitor.

CSS3 may change that (it's introducing a few irritating things along those
lines, though I've not searched for that specifically.)

I don't know exactly why you want to achieve this, but you could set
some dummy link in order to achieve this (it's quirk however):

a.highlight {
text-decoration:none;
}
a.highlight:link {
color:red;
}
a.highlight:hoover {
color:white;
}

<span style="background-color:blue;color=red;">this is<a
href="javascript:;" class="highlight">a test</a></span>

but I don't know if it's what you want

Browsers may default paragraphs to having a red background, in which
case your text would become invisible. You should always set background
when setting color, and always set color when setting background.

I'd assumed he would account for that, but yes, it's good to point out.
