<BODY BGCOLOR="#???">

The 6 question marks represent the numbers that make up the hexadecimal code for a particular colour. For a list of popular colours and their hexadecimal codes see the Colour Codes:

Thanls, but I know how to change the background color of a page…What I need to know is how to change the BG color of a “Form” (ones where you fill it out then click the submit button).

Be aware that changing form background colours is not supported by all browsers.

The code is:


<textarea bgcolor="#cccccc">

You have to do it in CSS.

<input type=“text” style=“background-color: #99CCCC” value=“Submit”>

You can also change borders and text fonts.

…yep, GuanoLad’s way would be my choice too. Much simpler. Still doesn’t work on all browsers, though.

Awesome, it worked! Now how do i adjust the text color in the forum? (I need white text against the black background)

<input type="text" style="background-color: #99CCCC; color:#FFFFFF;" value="Submit">

Yes, you can change the border colour and style too.

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood your question to mean the background of the page on which the form exists. Apologies. Carry on.
