Okay so I'm following the code directions and before I had all the color and stuff working using this code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Inline</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#33ccff" size="3">
<body>
<p align="center"><b><u>June 2, 2003</u></b></p>

But I thought the font was too big so I wanted to make the font smaller and arial, so I use this code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Inline</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000"> text="#33ccff" size="2">
<body>
<basefont="arial" size="2" color="#33ccff">
<p align="center"><b><u>June 2, 2003</u></b></p>

When I use this code I get just a black background....all my text is there, but it's black over the black so you can't see it unless you highlight it using the cursor, and even when i highlight it it is still times new roman and the same size!!! Please help! what am i doing wrong?!

There are a few things that are wrong with your second code.


<body bgcolor="#000000"> text="#33ccff" size="2">
<body>
<basefont="arial" size="2" color="#33ccff">


This is wrong because you have 2 body tags and the basefont part should be inside the body tag. Change that entire section to something like this:


<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#33CCFF" size="2" basefont="arial">
