web site colors page review requested

http://www.webdesignforthe.com/websitecolors.php

This was built for a specific client (who likes it). I would to improve
it - without using javascript.

The php produces 4.01 strict and uses valid css according to w3c. For
now, it uses a table for formating.

I am glad to see that the w3c corrected the background: transparent =
"warning, you did not specify a background color."

I assume that I have developed something others have done (better)
before but had fun anyway.

TIA

Corrected? It was never wrong. "transparent" isn't a colour, its the
explicit absence of one, and can cause problems.

What they have done is reword the warning so it doesn't look like a
mistake to people who don't realize that 'transparent' isn't a colour,
and either lower its priority or change the default level of warnings
shown so it doesn't appear by default.

Terry,

The numeric input fields aren't wide enough for 3 digits to be visible.
If I enter 100, what I see is 00.
To correct this, specify size=3 on your <input tags for these fields,
thus allowing entry of 3 visible characters.

I found it odd that a background of #000000 and a foreground of #00ff00
produced a warning about a "possible contrast problem!". Good thing we
didn't know that during the years of monochrome computer displays. :-)

Thanks Chris,

I bet you are using Opera <blush>I forgot to check it</blush> FF 2, IE
6, and IE 7 incorrectly display 5 characters even though size=1 is
stated - for what reason is beyond me.

The contrast warning is a very simplistic thing. If the total of the
percentages for background and font are both below or above 150% the
warning pops-up[1].

Good to see you are back! Your suggestions are always appreciated - I
re-sized the input boxes.

[1] that is pops-up not pop-ups - should be ok even on this group.

Terry,

Hmmm, actually I was on FF 2, but on a 600 X 800 display. That shouldn't
have made a difference. Odd. Anyway, it looks fine now.

I had no idea I'd been missed. Life sometimes interferes with whatever it
is we do here. I'm likely to be on-and-off though.

Cheers,
