Hey all.

I've recently put together a quick webpage for me and a mate to keep tabs of our tips for winners/losers etc for this coming football season. I've made it the index.html for my webpage so when we go to my page we see it straightaway.

My mate chose a dark bluey greeny colour which looks quite smart in Firefox. In IE7 its the same colour but perhaps a bit lighter. In Opera however, the smart blue colour has gone and is replaced by quite a gaudy, shocking bright green. Now my mate uses FF and I use Opera, so naturally he's taking great delight in dissing my choice of browser.

Can anyone explain why Opera has interpreted my colour tag in such a radically different way to FF/IE? And how I can make Opera interpret the colour properly? The tag I've used is below. :) Perhaps I need to use the hex value for the colour rather than an RGB value? :confused:

Code:
<body bgcolor="rgb(24,54,103)" text="white">

*Dang! Just realised this should be in HTML forum. Will commence harrassment of mods to get this moved. :D *
