hmm, okay, I adjusted it a bunch, here's a screenshot of how it looks on a PC in N4, does it look spaced out like this for you? http://mediafan.ma-at.net/netscape4.jpg and if not, perhaps try Shift-Reload to make sure you're getting a fresh page? or if you can, can you do a screenshot and send it to me?

Or so my CSS teacher taught me. yes, that's my understanding too, but I wanted to be sure, things are not always the same on a Mac, IE 5 on a Mac does some really different things from IE 5 on a PC... :-) > With hex (#ccffcc) IE, NN, Opera, they all have a slightly different idea of > how that color should look.

See, I don't have this problem, on this computer using 32 bit true color or on my older one using 16 bit high color for testing sites, the colors all look the same in IE, NN and Opera. Text sizes vary slightly, especially in N4 but colors are all the same (there's a difference in the colors between the two computers but on each computer in different browsers, the colors are the same). Maybe it's different for Macs... > This is a very specific green. It showed up the same in all the browsers I > tested in and as far as I know there's no hex equivilant because I came up #ADFFDE. PSP gave me that hex code for that color (and PS should be able to give you hex codes as well). I set up two test html pages, specify that hex color in one and the decimal code in the other, they look exactly the same to me: http://mediafan.ma-at.net/testrgb.html http://mediafan.ma-at.net/testhex.html If the color on the two pages looks different to you, then it sounds like a difference in how Macs perceive color vs how PCs perceive color, rather than how browsers perceive color. And if that's the case, I'm not surprised, Sue's shown me screenshots of her Mac at different gamma settings, the Mac default and a Windows gamma setting, there's clearly a difference there that's OS related rather than browser related. And Macs have always been better with color, that was one of their early selling points, although PCs are catching up these days. > font-family: "Comics Sans MS", Arial, Helvatica, sans-serif; (pssst, gotta couple typos there, it's Comic, no "s" on the end, and Helvetica, two e's) > You probably didn't notice a difference because you kept the same color for > the text, right? You didn't darken or lighten the green? Yes I kept the same color, because I want the same color, I just want everyone else to see it as green instead of blue! <grin> > See?

The browser displays the color you want. Reading that article I posted the link to about the web-safe color palette doesn't suggest that decimal has any greater value over hexadecimal. They ran the test on various browsers on both PCs and Macs, still found the same color shift. It has to do with colors in images shifting when the image is saved and they were working with the basic 256 color palette, the so called websafe color palette that people thought rendered the same on all computers in all browsers. > True, but at least it looks green to me now and not blue. ;) I'm confused after all this :-) what looks green? the index2.html page with the decimal specification? or the original page, index.html? http://mediafan.ma-at.net/index.html http://mediafan.ma-at.net/index2.html Does one look blue and the other green? if so, which is which? or are they both green? thanks much for all the info! alice ttlg http://lookinglass.populli.net/ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.
