test page background colour workaround using table code

how to create a coloured webpage background (until we introduce an easier way and tool-button)

This test-page demonstrates how to change the page background colour using the 'table' code.

To see the webpage code press Alt V or right-click the mouse, then select 'View Source', 'Source' or View Page Source', depending on the browser and version.

The colour code (in this example: bgColor=#ffff99) needs to be added to the opening table tag while in HTML mode.

The table (which you can initially create using the table tool-button) should have the characteristics:

Rows: 1

Columns: 1

Padding: (for example) 5 or 10 (or other to suit your margin preferences - i.e., the distance you want between your text and the page edges)

Table width: 100% (for a full-width page - alter this and set your alignment accordingly)

Here is another way: see the test-page example.

Again, to see the webpage code press Alt V or right-click the mouse, then select 'View Source', 'Source' or 'View Page Source', depending on the browser and version.
