displayed color with IE vs Mozilla......

[user]

Following code in HTML & PHP works fine with Mozilla but when I run with
IE the colors which are stated as black and grey show a wierd green in IE.

Can someone tell me what I need to change in IE to make test black and
gray/grey.

Below is code.

TIA

<table border=6 width=50% cellpadding=2 cellspacing=4 table

One thing you might do is not use names of colours that are not in the
standards. E.g. there is no such colour as 'gainsboro' in the
standards: this was a Netscape invention that browsers may or may not
recognize.

Another non-existent colour is 'grey': in the standards it is 'gray'.

You should also use CSS instead of deprecated FONT to specify colours.
