# <body> attributes

THtmlViewer supports color and background information attributes entered with the HTML <body> tag. Thus each document may have a customized appearance. Color and background information entered in this manner overrides the default information specified by the DefFontColor, DefHotSpotColor, DefBackground, DefVisitedLinkColor, DefOverLinkColor properties.

The following <body> attributes are supported in this version:

Text="RRGGBB"

The hex number entered determines the normal text color.

Link="RRGGBB"

The hex number entered determines the link (HotSpot) color.

VLink="RRGGBB"

The hex number entered determines the color of a link which has been previously visited.

OLink="RRGGBB"

The hex number entered determines the link color when the mouse passes over it. A defined OLink value will make the links active even if fvOverLinksActive or htOverLinksActive are not set..

BgColor="RRGGBB"

The hex number entered determines the background color.

Background="imagefilename"

The Background attribute specifies an image file. When ViewImages is set, this image will be tiled to form the background of the document.

HTML hex entries are 2 digits of red, 2 digits of green, and 2 digits of blue. Note that this order is the reverse of normal color entries in Windows. Also, most HTML browsers require all six digits including leading zeros.

## Example

<body text="00FF00" link="FF0000"

bgcolor="000000" background="marble.gif">

produces green text, red hotspots on a black background. If ViewImages is set, marble.gif will be tiled to form the background.
