Background Color in html can be set using the css property background-color. On the printed page, people are accustomed to seeing portions that have been marked by a highlighter. The behavior of the background color will depend on the tag you associate the background color command to. You can achieve the same effect on your Web page using a Style attribute and BACKGROUND-COLOR.

In this example we show backgrounds for the and tags, note that the tag highlights the whole block and not just the specific text.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
The due date is next week.
</BODY>
</HTML>

Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support the background color style.
