Asked By Michael Smith 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/12/2012

Hi,

I need help with my assignment. Basically I have to make an html page and have the output display in a .cgi file.

I am able to change the font and colors in the html page but the output of my CGI file comes out in black font.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the color of the font in the output displayed?

How to change font color in html output on C++ ?

Hi Henry, regarding to your problem on how to change the text background color and text is simple like this.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<dos.h>
main()
{
    textbackgroundcolor(BLUE);
    textcolor(YELLOW);
    
     clrscr();
     cout<<"/n/n/t/t/t HENRY";
    
      getch();
      return 0;
}

> if you want to make your text to blink. just add to the code which is textcolor(YELLOW+BLINK);

ok? just try..

How to change font color in html output on C++ ?

HelloHenry,

This might help you.

• In C++ form

  #include <stdio.h>

  #include <windows.h> (dont forget to put this)

  system("color #"); (colors range to 0-15)

  HANDLE hColor;

  hColor=GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_ HANDLE);

  SetConsoleTextattribute(hColor, #);

  pick a code:

  Code:

  #define black 0

  #define dark_blue 1

  #define green 2

  #define cyan 3

  #define red 4

  #define dark_purple 5

  #define brown 6

  #define gray 7

  #define dark_gray 8

  #define blue 9

  #define neon_green 10

  #define light_blue 11

  #define light_red 12

  #define purple 13

  #define yellow 14

  #define white 15

   

  For foreground and background:

• SetConsoleTextAttribute (hOut, BACKGROUND_BLACK);

  The background will be black,

  SetConsoleTextAttribute(hOut, BACKGROUND_BLACK| FOREGROUND_RED);

  Background Black then font will be red.

  Here's the Attribute Meaning:

  FOREGROUND_BLUE Text color contains blue.

  FOREGROUND_GREEN Text color contains green.

  FOREGROUND_RED Text color contains red.

  FOREGROUND_INTENSITY Text color is intensified.

  BACKGROUND_BLUE Background color contains blue.

  BACKGROUND_GREEN Background color contains green.

  BACKGROUND_RED Background color contains red.
