White yields blue. Red yields green. Blue yields red. If this is part of a recognizable sequence, I've no idea. My HTML is pidgin.

Yeh. Check the source, that's what I did to get the colors to revert back in my posts.

Yeah, you did the same thing I did.

Okay, so my post above describes what happens, although I can't see what's up with those colors.

The initial font tag ends with what the user thinks is the closing font tag--the first time the > shows up. Then all the next text shows up in whatever weird color and you have to end it with < /font >.

Good bug, Irv!

What color does green yield?

1151. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:10:10 PM

My HTML is by no means expert; I'm more application architect than coder.

But I think what happens is the HTML doesn't recognize the color without the end tag, so it resolves it. As you demonstrate, there's a pattern to it. Interesting.

How about purple?

1154. Angel-Five - 2/9/2000 4:11:17 PM

It yields green.

1155. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:11:29 PM

Hmm.

Testing white again?

1156. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:12:15 PM

Testing blue?

1157. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:12:40 PM

Testing blue?

1158. Angel-Five - 2/9/2000 4:12:54 PM

But white causes a mess White causes a mess.

1159. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:13:03 PM

Ah!

Testing white?

1160. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:13:42 PM

Try it with and without quotes around the colors. On IE, if you use quotes around the colors, it will show up in the desired color. If you don't put quotes around the color, it comes up random.

1161. Angel-Five - 2/9/2000 4:16:05 PM

and this... and I wonder if quotes help... let's see if itdoes.

1162. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:16:47 PM

See if I can recreate with other colors:

Testing red with no quotes
Testing red with quotes

Testing green with no quotes
Testing green with quotes

Testing purple with no quotes
Testing purple with quotes

1163. CalGal - 2/9/2000 4:17:30 PM

Yep, it's quotes.

1164. Angel-Five - 2/9/2000 4:18:15 PM
