Is white text always unprintable? Whenever I print a page with text in a
table with its BGCOLOR set, it comes out great.
Workie:
<TABLE ... BGCOLOR="#000000"><TR><TD>
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">foo foo foo</FONT>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
No workie:
<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR="#000000">
<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">foo foo foo</FONT>
</BODY></HTML>
I'm sure it depends on the browser, but I think level-3 versions of NN & MSIE
both handle printing BGCOLOR in tables correctly.
