That makes sense. Just didn't see how to do it anywhere. Found a good source for color codes of the largest ranges of colors Color Codes

<span>
This text should have a yellow background, but doesn't.

IIRC, the span tag isn't disabled, but the "style" attribute (the only one that's really useful in 'span') is. Too bad, since there are many things that can only be done with the style attribute including setting precise font sizes [generally annoying unless it's necessary to make text fit a fixed-sized item, in which case its lack is annoying] and controlling background colors for text outside of tables.

Close enough. Still irritating though (I can't remember why JohnRob pulled that particular attribute/tag off the list of working tags).

(I can't remember why JohnRob pulled that particular attribute/tag off the list of working tags)

I asked him that. He said that it is possible for the style= attribute to force text outside the boundaries of a post. He said that he hoped to censor the specific subproperties that would allow such a thing, but was too busy at the moment. That was over a year ago I think.

BTW, I think the style= tag is allowed in a main-article posting but not in replies, and there are two reasons behind it: (1) main articles are more likely to contain pre-existing formatting that the restriction would mess up; (2) someone posting a main article would have no reason to bollux up his own thread.

You've got other talents beyond what I thought....I bow before an HTML master!

THANK YOU!

Just out of curiosity, you state you dont use "automated software". Is that including the abhorant Front Page? You code seems to use the famous MSO prefixed style in your style tag.
