[Zope-CMF] inserting color into a table in a cmf type document

Hi,

You need to be more specific, but basically, it's an html problem,
probably.

what do you mean, crashes?  Is there a traceback?  Do you have to
restart it?  If you are uploading these html snippets as Documents,
you can't add a <body> tab, because there's already one in the
standard_html_header skin (see skins documentation on the website).

the bgcolor attribute of table won't work in all browsers.  but
anyway, the reason it's not working here could be that the CMF
stylesheet has properties that have priority.  again, see the skins. 
if you want to control table colours in 4.0+ browsers, you should look
at customising the stylesheets rather than individual tables.
