Highlight HTML Text With BACKGROUND-COLOR
On the printed page, people are accustomed to seeing portions that have been marked by a highlighter. You can achieve the same effect on your Web page using a Style attribute and BACKGROUND-COLOR. For example, this HTML code inserts a yellow background on the word "next".
 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>The due date is <FONT 
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">next </FONT>week.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Recent versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support the background color style.

If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible. Submit your tip here.
