i use the tag <body bgcolor="#474747"> on a webpage which works fine on dreamweaver and frontpage. even shows properly on firefox. but when viewed with internet explorer or aol browser the tag is ignored and the background is plain white (#474747 is dark grey). do IE and aol only support css or are both browsers taunting me again?

they're definitely taunting you. IE supports regular HTML better than it does CSS, and I believe the AOL browser uses the IE rendering engine anyway.

however, CSS is a much better way to do it. try that way instead? it's no more difficult:

<style type="text/css">
body {background: #474747}
</style>
