corporation also produces web server software.
Netscape provided major improvements in speed and interface over other browsers, and has also engendered debate
by creating new elements for the HTML language used by Web pages -- but the Netscape extensions to HTML
are not universally supported.
The main author of Netscape, Mark Andreessen, was hired away from the NCSA by Jim Clark, and they founded a company

Netscape color palette --- Network Interface card (NIC)
|
|
Netscape color palette --- Refers to the array of colors (approx 253) that are supported or can be correctly
interpreted by the Netscape Navigator browser. These colors are supposed to be the standard colors that users with
the "lowest common denominator" computer equipment will correctly see. Whether you have a 16 million
color video card or a 256 video card in your computer, these colors are supposed to render the same way on both.
These colors are also supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer, although some of them may deviate slightly.
The colors are set by a Web page author using the RGB (RedGreenBlue) hexidecimal value of the color. An
example of the HTML syntax for setting color for a Web page looks something like this:
<body bgcolor="FFFFFF" text="000000" link="FF0000" vlink="00FF00" alink="FFFFFF">
The above syntax when placed in an HTML document would render the page with a white background, black text, red
links, green visited links, and an active link color of white.
For a closer look at the names of these colors, click on the more button below.
