Can bgcolor be a attribute of the <html> tag, however?

Hi

I want to send e-mails using an asp page
first I create the mail Object: Set objMail =
Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

After I fill a variable with the html code that will be the mail

txtMailBody = "<html>"
txtMailBody = txtMailBody & "<center>Hi <BR> This is a test"
txtMailBody = txtMailBody & "</html>"

finally I send the mail using the following code:
objMail.Body = txtMailBody
objMail.Send

I got a "double quote" problem when I try to give a background color for the
html page
txtMailBody = "<html bgcolor="#FFCC33">"

Is there a way to accomplish this

Thanks for all

No, it can't. It can be an attribute of the Body element, albeit
depreciated. Best method is to put everything into a style element in the
head element.

txtMailBody = "<html><head><title>Mail Message</title><style type=" & chr
(34) & "text/css" & chr(034) & ">body {background-color:#FFCC33}</style>
</head><body>Email message</body></html>"

The solution for a double quote problem is to double your quotes :

txtMailBody = "<html bgcolor=""#FFCC33"">"
