Foreground/Background Distinction

Notice how this page consists of a solid green background and a clearly defined foreground table. I am using an external style sheet to handle the body color of every page on my site, and using inline style to color the foreground tables and apply the thick black border.

I could just as easily use my external CSS to control the body and foreground, or I could use traditional HTML to control both. This is a matter of personal preference.

The main point is that Web pages look much better when they contain distinct background and foreground areas.
