If you know how to manipulate Javascripts a bit, you *could* use this =
color looping script (called "Continuous Fader") at: =
http://javascript.internet.com/bgeffects/fader.html ...I don't know how =
to do so, but if you could stop the loop from repeating itself...then it =
will just fade from color "a" to color "b" & it would stop instead of =
repeating as it does in its current form.

Do you want to set a bgcolor and then have it gradually fade across the
page? There is no attribute that will accomplish that for you. You need
to create a .gif in a graphics program with that effect and then load it
as a background image, for example:

<body background=3D"images/imageName.gif"> loads a .gif called =
"imageName"
that is located in a directory called "images".

If you design a horizontal image with a large width and a short height
that fades in color from left to right (for example), the background
image will "tile" down the page and that effect will fill the
background. However, setting the *width* can be tricky because of
resolution and screen size differences. Just as the image will fill
down, it will also fill across. So if you design the image to fade based
on the dimensions of WebTV, I will see that same image repeat itself
several times on my 17" monitor set to 1024x768. You can create an image
that fades on a larger screen, but anyone on WebTV (or similar) will
only see the "bright" left end of your image.

Does any of this help? :)
