Links, like every HTML element I can think of* DO have a background-color style which can be set via a style attribute or a stylesheet. update: except perhaps, the "invisible" ones, like `<br>` or `<style` "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"*	[reply] [d/l] [select]

To get the behavior expressed in the parent, I've always found it necessary to declare some container object to express an area of color background. That does not mean that I wouldn't entertain an example from you or another contributor that satisfies the parent's design strictly by controlling the background color style property. Essentially, one can do almost anything with any tag by redefining its style properties, but then it becomes possible the element ceases to be understandable HTML. == Desire is one product of absence. -- Stephen Opal ==	[reply]

Once I've audited the site for security and moved it into production (it's almost ready), I'll show you exactly how it works.	[reply]
