long story short im in a computer programming class now with an instructor who is sort of un qualified to teach it(when it takes you 5 minutes to find the source of a page come on)

so here my question when you are typing in color of text and finish the paragraph how do you change colors after ending the tags i start a new paragraph with a new color and it still prints in the old color any help would be greatly appreciated.

to show what i mean
this:
Code: 
<html>
<title>
Cory's Practice Page
</title>
<body bgcolor=black text=red>
Hey Adisc help me out
</body>
<p>
<br>
<body text=blue>
Please!
</body>

</html>

results in this:
http://www.adisc.org/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/228/ppuser/19/big/html_practice

When "please!" should be blue but i can't seem to get it to change so please tell me what i am missing here.

Replace <body text=blue> by <font color="blue"> and type </font> after "Please!"

Hope it helps.

I suggest heading over to W3schools to learn the basics of HTML.

The basic structure of a HTML document is
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of page</title>
</head>
<body>
Your <b>page elements</b> <i>goes in here</i>
</body>
</html>

You need to have one body tag, so replacing the body tags with font technically is still wrong. You should still add body tags "outside".

You're welcome... Cory. :3

By the way, if you ever want to add some interactive elements to your webpage, there's always JavaScript. Or if you want to make it more attractive but stick with basic HTML, you can always mess up with marquees and stuff.

I know you already got some answers, but I thought I'd post an alternate solution:

HTML: 
<html>
  <head><title>Cory's Practice Pagee</title></head>
  <body style="background-color: black;">
    <p style="color: red;">Hey Adisc help me out</p>
    <p style="color: blue;">Please!</p>
  </body>
</html>

Actually, chevre's answer is the best. Shows up in all browsers, less errors.

And Ayanna, you forgot quotation marks.

Using colours in the body tag and using font tags is a feature of html 4 and is deprecated. The Preffered standard to use now is XHTML. You should be using css to apply style/formatting rules to span/div/paragraph tags. That page is also invalid as well because it has no doctype declaration, you haven't got your attribute values in quotes and you haven't set a character encoding. Something like this would be better:
Code: 
<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
	<title>Cory's Practice Page</title>
	<style type="text/css">
	/* <![CDATA[ */
	p.red {
		color: red;
	}
	p.blue {
		color: blue;
	}

	/* ]]> */
	</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="red">Hey Adisc help me out</p>
<p class="blue">Some blue text too!!!</p>
</body>
</html>

Damn, if I had a teacher that stupid I'd tell him so. My teachers often get things wrong, they tend to get pissed off when I correct them :laugh:

Don't get me wrong i still respect and semi like the guy but i think he could be more,what's the word im looking for, prepared for the class. After the html(half the trimester) we go to making video games with dark basic so that should be fun.
