My problem is the color of the text before this:

Quote:

Given the color code, the whole text in that piece should be that color(beige like), but only the first alinea does. this doesn't happen when I use

Code:

<br>

insted of

Code:

<p>

, but I want them to be that color. I tried a lot, but I can't get it to work. Any help please?

this is what it looks like now:

Actually, it all looks fine to me.

Although there are some tidbits that could use some cleaning up.

In most of your declarations, you failed to put a semicolon at the very end, right before the closing curly bracket. It's not necessary, but would make the code a little cleaner and up to W3C requirements.

Secondly, in your td, p declarations, you can only choose one color. You have two hexadecimal colors in that same declaration. Remove one.

Also, your <p> with the Welcome line is inside a table. I was not aware you could put paragraphs in tables (though I'm not surprised if you can). Either way, you should put a <TD> leading into it.

So

Code:

<table style="Position:absolute; top:440; left:290;"><ilayer name="scroll1"><br><div id="scroll3"
style="width:210; height:300;
background-color:; FONT-SIZE: 10px;
COLOR:#CCCC99 ; overflow:auto">

Should become

Code:

<table style="Position:absolute; top:440; left:290;"><ilayer name="scroll1"><br><div id="scroll3"
style="width:210; height:300;
background-color:; FONT-SIZE: 10px;

<TD>

</TD>

See what I done?

EDIT:
Also, I suggest you visit this site:
http://www.w3schools.com

It's the World Wide Web Consortium's basic reference page, with modifiable examples and the like. It's got a lot of info on CSS and CSS2 coding.

You can't nest anything inside TABLE tags. You should not be allowed to, anyway, and stricter browsers can do weird things.

TABLE tags are only allowed to contain TR (TABLE ROWS) tags, which can contain TH and TD (TABLE CELLS) tags, which in turn can contain your content. You don't declare the middle in the middle of the table declaration -- consider that the "middle of nowhere". (Sure, I'm generalizing on the elements part, but the rest is a bit out of scope for this)

Code:

<!-- You can place text here -->
<table>
<!-- NO TEXT HERE. -->
<tr>
<!-- NO TEXT HERE EITHER. -->
<td>Table cell (anything goes here, more or less)</td>
<!-- NO TEXT HERE AS WELL. -->
<td><div id="whatever" style="foo: bar">Bla bla bla... </div></td>
</tr>
<!-- STILL NO TEXT HERE. -->
</table>
<!-- You can place text here -->
