This should probably be moved into either HRWiki: or Help:, probably the latter. It certainly doesn't have anthing directly to do with Homestar Runner... --phlip ^T_C 16:34, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

3 digit revision

They're all black now... ? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

That's why I changed it back. --Jay (Gobble) 20:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious, what brower are you using? -- Tom 20:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

The evil that is IE. --Jay (Gobble) 20:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Opera, latest version. I just looked w/ Firefox, it seems to only work there. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Yup, I'll second the IE problems. No biggie for me though, I always use Firefox. :P ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 20:11, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Me too. --TheThingé 20:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I can understand IE not getting it, but Opera? That's as standards-compliand as you're likely to find, generally, and I know I have used 3-digit colors successfully before. I suspect it's actually a problem in the way the colors are being processed by the Wiki itself... - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Just to confirm, all six of the above appear as black? (The thing: "Me too" what? That the colors appear as all black, or that you always use Firefox?) -- Tom 20:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Wait, I think I has the solution!

The 3 digit is CSS only. You're using the bgcolor HTML attribute. That requires 6 digits. Firefox is being extra lenient in allowing it to work against standards.- Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:22, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Experiment: CSS Red 3-digit HTML Red 3-digit 1 should work all the time in all modern graphic browsers, 2 will work only in FF. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Again in IE, first one works; second doesn't. --Jay (Gobble) 22:08, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Understood. How's this then?

Taken straight from Wikipedia:Web colors#Web-safe colors. Note the underlined "really safe" colors. -- Tom 01:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow great reading. Thanks for the link Tom. I R F 22:46, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

So how do I put these into a sig? I'm helping a friend. Count X ^Talk _Email 07:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
