Learn how to change the color of text, links, and visited links.

Here are two examples of what I mean by a Text Flip. Look at the two bits of text just below this paragraph. Both are links, both will color change, but notice the one on the right looks like straight text to start. That's because the two links are created differently from one another. Now, without clicking, roll your pointer over the two links and watch the show but hold your applause until the end

Apparently many people out there are creating color test patterns to make sure their new Trinitron monitor can actually handle all 16 million colors. Sheesh! But I digress. Let's try out a few different angles, both for those using the new-fangled browsers, and those who still dig the earlier versions. I still surf with 1.1 every so often.

As if there isn't enough to be concerned about in terms of colors - here's one more little deal. This is a chart of 216 "non-dithering" colors. In layman's terms, these colors will look like the color you ask for on all browsers and all computer screen resolution settings. Have you ever seen a color created by what appeared to be one solid color and then a few lighter colored dots across the top? It didn't blend at all, but sort of created the color. Have you ever printed something in color, and instead of being a straight color, it appeared to be a series of different colored dots? I guess if you were able to truly mix those colors together, you would get the color you are looking for. But they're not mixed. That's dithering.
