HTML Background Colors

freesoft_2000 · Sep 23, 2006

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to change part of the background
color of a paragraph something down the lines like using css with the span
tag except that i do not want to use any css at all.

Can this be done at all and is it possible to be done.

A short example would really be helpful

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

p.foo {
background-color: red;
color: black;
}

Why not? That's what it's for.

What, are you in a "Designing Web sites the Rube Goldberg way" contest
or something?

Hi everyone,

Something like that but its more of a browser with an in built html
parser.

Anyways going back to the original question, is it possible for me to do
this without CSS?

*If* the style attribute doesn't count as CSS:

<html><body>Hello
there</body></html>

I hope you don't think that this is good markup. The font tag is simply
not acceptable any more.

Why not put the style attribute on the p element itself?

Because he said "part of the background color of a paragraph". Of course
if he wants the whole colored, that'd be a way to do it.

You mean you want

I am in black and white and I know you can see me this way but
I want you to forget what you are seeing and concentrate very
very very hard on the following instructions. Are you very
relaxed? You are feeling a little sleepy. You are now starting to
imagine black on red and now you can see that... I am black on
red.

without the lowdown no-good impostering-trickster-shyster con-job
