Demo: Background tile without bgcolor

See also: Background tile without bgcolor Background tile used with bgcolor An undithered "unsafe" background colour

This is a test page that uses body background with no bgcolor. It demonstrates what someone will see:

1. while they wait for the background tile to download,
2. if the background colour has been set in CSS only and their browser doesn't recognise CSS (or it's been disabled), or
3. if they have turned images off (perhaps to speed up browsing).

The page has a background tile which is mostly blue; in the foreground are transparent anti-aliased graphics intended to be shown on dark backgrounds.

As the tile was downloading, you will have seen the white text of the images on the default (grey or white) background with blue fringing due to the transparency in the anti-aliased images.

Look at the next demo page, which uses bgcolor with body background or go back to the guide on when and how to use the 216 palette.
