"Chester the Jester" assignment

The only new property that you have not had is on the <body> tag.

<BODY Properties>

BGCOLOR="xxxxxx"

This property will put a color in the background. Where xxxxxx is, you can either use a hexadecimal color number preceded by a # sign ("#ccffff"), a description of the color, or the color's name. Remember using anything other than a hexadecimal leaves you at the mercy of the browser to interpret the color. Click to view color chart.

BACKGROUND="xxxxxx.gif"

This property will put an image in the background. xxxxxx refers to the name of a file. Remember try to stick to either a JPG or GIF extension and file name has to be exact. In addition, try to use an image that has been created to be used as background. There are numerous free backgrounds that you can download from the internet. Usually I like to begin my search by going to Yahoo.com and search on backgrounds.

Right-click on each image and save picture as...
