Getting Windows Colors

This was as good as any place to ask this.

Is there a script or another way to get the default dialog color
(and/or the color used as a background color for internet explorer
at the top where the buttone File Edit etc. are) for a html file.

I know how to do it for a program on the user's disk. but if they
are accessing my web site can i determine this color and use it
as a background color for say a table. i.e. it would change from
computer to computer depending on what the user has set up.

 

Hey Buff
Sorry your question slipped by....and I'm not going to be a heap of help either. But I know that this place would be able to answer it in a jiffy?

Thanks daizy. After playing around with and looking up tutorials
for the CSS (cascading style sheets) that they suggested at the link you provided i was able to do exactly what I had asked -- get windows colors and use them in html coding. easier than I thought too.
in head section
<style type= "text/css ">
then put what is to have the different colors here
example
p {color:ButtonText Background-color:ButtonFace}
</style>
then whenever you use whatever it will use the colors you specified.

Instead of p you can use U (underline) UL (Unordered List)
even table

There's a whole range of default colors available whatever the
user has set.

 

Hi again Buf
So happy to hear you got it sorted. Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and tell us how.
