This is green
This is grey
This is gray
I'm using avant browser
(what's the difference between grey and gray?)RE: New foreign Messenger Plus! forums by CookieRevised on 11-01-2004 at 07:19 PM
one is american other is english....
well, this is a bug in MSIE/Avant Browser then: grey<>green.
If it doesn't know "grey", why does it convert it to "green" then? Seems to me that the "smart"-feature is doing not so smart things here...
(typical M$, trying to aid the user, but instead ending up implementing stupid, inlogic, confusing, standard-changing things 
, oh oh, I'm gonna get it now..... 
)
If a color isn't reconized, it should be the default textcolor (usually black)...
Let's test something 
What color is this? ([color=greffalicus])
What color is this? ([color=yellybelly])
both should be BLACK, not lightgreen and dirty yellow....
This is an perfect example of how MSIE changes the standards to something completely different. It also is a nice example why you shouldn't use colorwords in your HTML editing but instead use "#rrggbb" notation if you develop a homepage...
