When designing elements for your webpage, you will often be called upon to specify a color. For example, the code for a span shown below specifies that the color of the text within the span will be yellow.
Colors can be specified according to their names, for example “yellow”, “green”, or “blue”. In many cases, these simple color names will work. But what if you want to specify a more sophisticated color like “cornflowerblue”? A particular browser may not recognize a particular color name. It’s more reliable to specify colors with an “RGB triplet”.
An RGB triplet specifies a color based upon the amounts of red, green, and blue, on a scale from 0 to 255, required to create the color. For example, to create the color cornflowerblue you need red=100, green=149, and blue=237. We could then specify the color of the text within a span using the rgb function as shown below.

E-commerce sites also have Shopping Carts and Payment Gateways attached to them that non-sales web sites do not need.
Ok??so you want to develop an E-commerce site. You are now probably asking do I have enough skill, mental patience or aptitude to be successful?
