Although *all* the html I've found in tutorials, and although Michael's
pages also show the same thing, Arachne does *not* display a correctly
written page if you load it without graphics.
AFAICT, correct html is in this sequence:
<head>
<title>
etc
</title>
</head>
<BODY bgcolor="#000000" border="0" text="ffffff">
<body background="http etc etc etc>
In the above case if you don't load graphics, you should see a black
background. Not with Arachne.
To make it work in Arachne, you have to rewrite this way:
<head>
<title>
etc
</title>
</head>
<body background="http://etc etc etc>
<BODY bgcolor="#000000" border="0" text="ffffff">
I can live with the work around, BUT ...
Can someone set up a test case and check to see if NS, IE OE & any
linux browsers will be able to figure out the basically incorrect html
code??
Please??
In fact, if you have browsers other than Arachne, just check the "sister
page" of the one in my sig block. instead of b-for.htm check out
b-for.html. I'll make the change there.
l.d.
