RE: Cross-Platform Cross Browser? (Web Safe Imaes)

[Jason Nugent]

	If anyone is interested,  I created a single HTML page that 

contains a table with every web-safe colour in it.  The hex values are 

there, as well as the complete RGB values.  The file was created for a 

course I teach at a local university.


	http://tuweb.ucis.dal.ca/~jnugent/teach/216hue.html


	I figured this might go in with the recent talk on colours.
