Text color within table to be black

[Larry]

Hi colleagues,

Text color within table to be black

The web site page URL that this situation can be viewed at is:
http://brestlitovsk.topcities.com/Photographs_Briskers.html

I am using a table and the text within the table is all blue. The
table is 6 Rows and 5 Columns.

The coding directly above the table is:
<b><font size="3"><font color="#000000">This is the BINENBAUM Family.
Information supplied by
<a href="mailto:[email protected]"><font color="#004080">Larry
Schenker.</b></font></font></a></font>

I want the text within the table to be all black.

Where can I place the required HTML coding to change all of the text
within the table to black?

Below is the coding for the top two rows of the table.

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr><!-- Row 1 -->
<td>Given Name</td><!-- Col 1 -->
<td>Relation to Member</td><!-- Col 2 -->
<td>Born</td><!-- Col 3 -->
<td>Died</td><!-- Col 4 -->
<td>Nee Name</td><!-- Col 5 -->
</tr>
<tr><!-- Row 2 -->
<td>Pesse</td><!-- Col 1 -->
<td>Great Grandmother</td><!-- Col 2 -->
<td>May 25, 1852</td><!-- Col 3 -->
<td>May 30, 1932</td><!-- Col 4 -->
<td>Forman</td><!-- Col 5 -->
</tr></table>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am using a table

Why? Is it tabular data?

Let me guess. You're using Frontpage. I don't think even Dreamweaver

table {color: black;}

Thanks for your suggestion. I am sorry that I do not know CSS, I do
not even know what it is. I am just a volunteer who is attempting to
put together a web site.

I attempted to change the orginal HTML code which is:
<table border="1" width="100%">

in two different ways
<table border="1" color="black" width="100%">
<table border="1" color="00000" width="100%">

Neither changes the text copy within the table to black.

Can you please try to help me again.

Thank you again

I am sorry that I do not know CSS, I do
not even know what it is.

Cascading Style Sheets. The idea is that HTML describes the structure of
the document, CSS handles the presentation.

Once you learn about CSS, you'll never go back.

<table border="1" color="black" width="100%">
<table border="1" color="00000" width="100%">

Neither changes the text copy within the table to black.

Really? You can't just make up attributes and have them do what you

Can you please try to help me again.

Create a new file called style.css and save it to the same directory as
your HTML file.

In that file type:

table { color: black; }

At the top of your HTML document, add the following line:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="all">

I dont want to sound overly rude, but this kind of begs the question
"why did you volunteer", seeing as you dont know the basics of the
technology you're working with? :/

To offer an alternate solution to Marks greta post;

<style type="text/css">

table {color:black;}

</style>

Thank you again
