how to change text colour???

[lost prophet]

well the name basically says it all, can somone tell a noob how to change the taxt colour please?

Two ways: the common way and the right way. The common way is:
<font color="color">text</font>
The right way is:
<span style="color: colourname">text</span>

Whichever you use, note that you must put the end tag on (the one with a / in), even though it will work without it, otherwise you can screw threads up alot with cascading HTML errors. Also, you must close each tag you open separately, and in the opposite order to what they were opened. Same problems if you don't.

EDIT: Both of these only apply on Forums, or other media where you can't change any of the page other than your contribution. These will work on normal web pages, but there are far better ways to do it.

Well, dont put the ""'s in there just have Font color=orange or something, in brackets of coarse.
Lennon why is the second way the right way?
Just becasue you use it doesnt make it the right way.

How about selecting "quote" on my post here, and when you see my text, you'll see my font tags.

I like to learn by example instead of instruction.

Just ignore the "quote" tags, and the "QB" tags...that make my quote bold.
Just look at the font and close font tags.

I was wondering this too. I mean they both get the job done, and the 'common' way is alot simpler, so I'd say theres less chance of error.
