Nice A Jay...what else can I say

ET

That is exactly what I needed! Thanks Jayhawk for your time and trouble.

Cheers,

Actually I found it on the 'other' browser's site

A Jay...why do most editors when validating script..always points out that you should use the HEX triplet instead of the colour "name"???

Most current browsers recognize the valid names without problems.

Angel ET Flavius

I am not sure of the correct answer, but try entering in crazy color names. If you enter "marcus lindicus" as a color it will still crank out a color. This may have something to do with it. If not I would love to know why this happens. Below is a short test to show you what I mean, look in the edit screen to see what color I selected.

Test: Test

Hi Marcus L. ..yes I have been using the names instead of the hex value..I wondered if it is alright to ignore your validation editor..that says..."on line 155..the color "pond yuk" should be listed in an acceptable HEX value.

SEE pond yuk heehee looks just like it

I would love to NOT alway have to remember numbers..like military "dog tags"

Angel ET Flavius

Here's another to look at the edit for a laugh:

Test

seems blue is default for any really weird ones like "owl sick" or "wallet"...

Hey I like blue...so I can't miss ..at least most of the time... guess what these are??.. Splash WOOF BooM Vrooom

The list is: sheep dip, dog breath, double barreled,and of course ferrari

Well, one reason could be that hex will give you 256*256*256 =16,777,216 colours.
Another would be that all browsers can convert hex and not all (Opera, Lynx?) might know these named colours.

Hi A. Jay

Thanks..and I realize that in PSP6..that it is recommended too..16mil colors does keep a good quality and acts sort of as a standard...for good viewing for evereyone.

The reason I brought it up..is I can remember a special name...whereas a number becomes meaningless ...well at my age..from one cup of coffee to the next. I'm just trying to find ways to "speed" up my work..with less frustration.

Angel ET Flavius

I think the named ones tell you the 216 browser friendly/safe colours. So there's nothing wrong in using them

Many thanks A Jay

Just crashed a PIII 800 machine with my "editor"..must to have had nine pages open...*sheesh*..so is Your name going to be heehee..browser friendly some day?

Or ARR or even ME...??

This a curiousity...

Marcus WOW!!

Now I need to scan and defrag again *phooey*

Angel ET Flavius

Hey look at me ! Woohoo !

RSC

Wow...how depressing ...I have no special color...

[This message has been edited by RSC (edited 04-10-2000).]

OH yes you do RSC

You need lowercase, and vowels to make these work...

RSC and alway this one RSC heehee RSC in in them all.

RSC

I found these when we were developing a children tutorial for Amazing Writing program..the color would describe what they wrote..it is really simple when you think about it.

ET

RSCaesar works well

RSC

Ave RSC,
Back for some games I see. This thread has really been fun to read the edits on huh?

RSC I noticed you have discovered the rest of the "magic" color codes

Angel ET Flavius

Yeah like "sheep dip" and "owl sick".

The mind boggles...

I wonder what the algorithm for that is...could it be they use ASCII codes and added them up to RGB or Hex values?

Fearie
Fearie green
Fearie blue
Fearie red
Fearie dark
Fearie pale
