Looks OK here. But this would depend on the color depth that each user is running. You could write a bit of Javascript that checks the Screen.colorDepth property and selects an appropriate palette for various ranges. That would keep your table from looking gaudy for everyone except those with cheap display adapters.
My color digits were per-cent, not 0-255.

That looks nice on my Vaio. Well, depending on how I tilt the screen. I'll check it on my HP when/if I ever get home.

That would be great. Copyrights are silly anyhow.

51 * N is interesting. I'll tell The Brat.
Thanks.

Only if they are very badly adjusted and a lot of them are. The model I have was supplied in a default state intended to look good in a sunlit shop window and would burn right through the back of your head if not adjusted for operation in a normal room environment. One thing that nearly put me off buying it was that people were complaining of headaches from using it. When I saw the defaults I understood why.
It is an HP2475w with IPS LCD and very wide colour gamut - almost as good as my old tube monitor but considerably slimmer on the desk.
It is rare these days to run into systems that don't have at least 24bit colour cards in the PC and at least 5bits monotonic rendering on the LCD. That means almost everything should be able to distinguish colours that are separated by a delta of 8 in any of R,G,B.
If it cannot then your monitor is not properly calibrated. You could provide a moron user button to press if you cannot see the divisions!
It is just possible that some penniless geriatric is still running a card with only 8bit colour with 3,3,2 of RGB and to satisfy them you would have to go in steps of delta 32 RB (64 for B)so that
E0E0E0 should be grey enough for those and the worst adjusted monitors that burn out highlights. Same issue with blacks as well to a lesser extent.

No surprises there then. But it doesn't display correctly with either IE8 or IE7. The part just under the title is horribly mangled.
It looks slightly better on IE7 where the tabs are less messed up with dotted lines. But they still look funny floating in mid page.
It is only worth supporting IE6,7,8. There are some global multinational corporations still on XP (good choice but now unsupported), Office 2003 (good choice) and IE6 (bad choice).
Even more amazingly one of them has a plan to roll out *IE7* this year if time permits! They also run outdated defective WiFi protocol stacks that are easily hacked on a fair proportion of their older portables. I am afraid this is all too typical of corporate IT in the large.

I actually run an 8-bit VGA for my daughter. The programs she likes to use, a series of them collectively called Living Books, were targeted and designed for that and won't work well on anything else. So I maintain such a system.
Separately, in my electronics lab area, I also have my own 8 bit VGA system running on an older 80486DX, 33MHz. Lots of nice 8-bit ISA and 16-bit ISA, which I still require and use. My Pentium system, still also running in that room, allows for 16-bit... but I keep it set to 8 bit.
So at least three such machines are out there in the world and, within this household, they make up a non-trivial portion.

Well, how many ears do you have?
And what's with that stupid nym?
Thanks, Rich
What's the steering wheel for?

Thats the scroll wheel!
My standard is pretty much... if Amazon.Com does it, it's probably safe to include in my own web site. :-)
Seriously, Amazon pays a lot of attention to people with older browsers, because there's real money at stake. ...although I wouldn't be surprised if a Windows 95 (fifteen year old!) browser might not work with it.

On Firefox, Windoze 2k, mine looks just like Jan's. The tabs have a gradient from light copper tan to a darker shade. Try a different computer and see what you get

I see alternating cream background and white background (SeaMonkey

sounds like a hardware problem.
That page uses way too much javascript. Find someone who knows how to write CSS.
I suspect there's something wrong with the javascript that colours the table. and as a result it's not getting coloured.
the best move may be to enable internal table borders in the page so that it is easily readable and then turn them off using the javascript that colours the table.
elinks renders it like this
FUNCTION 4-channel, general-purpose, isolated high voltage pulse driver Four single-ended, positive pulse inputs +5 Volts max 50? terminations INPUTS +1.0 V minimum usable input Common threshold trimpot, comparator level +0.25 to +2.0 V Threshold-set test point is provided Four individually-isolated transformer-coupled positive pulses Common amplitude adjustment, +5.0 to +100.0 volts into an external 50? load Amplitude set test point is provided OUTPUTS Output is inherently low impedance and should be
readable only because it doesn't do CSS much.
The navigation javascript is broken too, without javascript all the content should display and the navigation links should point to acnhors for each section.
check your +12V and -12V buses I has a dodgy -12 mess up my video in the 90s. (it messed up the serial mouse too)
0 3 6 9 C F
use 3 digit colour codes made from the above.
eg: #9C3 which is a shortened equivalent of #99CC33
51 is just another way of saying 0x33 and web colours are easier in single-digit-per-channel hex.Jasen Betts Inscribed thus:
-12V isn't used any more in PC's.
