Yes some browsers can just read sloppy HTML whereas others who apply to the standards might have trouble with it. [/QUOTE]Actually, it's non-standard browsers that will have trouble with it. According to the standards, you don't need "" unless you've got non-alphanumeric characters in there. So, you need it for specifying hex-codes (because the # is compulsory), and for doing it the CSS way (because of the : and the space), but for the old-fashioned way with the colour names, it isn't necesary. This is likely different for XHTML, though, since it is much stricter - but that's much of a muchness, since FONT isn't defined in XHTML strict (it's deprecated in transitional, obselete in strict).
