ID: Q161687

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 2.0, 2.01, 2.1, 3.0, 3.01, 3.02a for Windows 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When you view a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document using Internet Explorer, objects that are gray in color may be displayed as light green.

This behavior can occur if the HTML source code has the color set to gray for the following elements:


   <BODY>
   <FONT>
   <HR>
   <MARQUEE>
   <TABLE>

Internet Explorer incorrectly reads "grey" as "green."

The author of the page you are viewing must change the spelling of the element color in the source code from "grey" to "gray."
