BGCOLOR attribute

Sets the background color behind an object.

Syntax

<element BGCOLOR="" ... >

Property values

sColor

A String that specifies one of the color names or RGB values in the Color Table.

Standards information

• Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Specification, Section 1.6.5

Remarks

Microsoft JScript supports the entire set of colors as color names and as the corresponding RGB values. However, JScript always returns the property as a string specifying the RGB color value, regardless of the format the value was set to.

Some browsers do not recognize color names; but all browsers should recognize RGB color values and display them correctly.
