Apologies Llizard, I was a little fired up from a heated debate (if that's
possible on a newsgroup) in another thread and I kinda took it out on you.

The best way to allow Netscape 3 to see the colours is to yse HTML 4.0
Transitional, and specify colours and the like in the document. This makes
it a pain to change styles, though. CSS is the way forward and the only way
to persuade people that it is worth upgrading browsers (if they can be
persuaded at all) is to use CSS.
