Following code in HTML & PHP works fine with Mozilla but when I run with
IE the colors which are stated as black and grey show a wierd green in IE.

Can someone tell me what I need to change in IE to make test black and
gray/grey.

Below is code.

TIA

One thing you might do is not use names of colours that are not in the
standards. E.g. there is no such colour as 'gainsboro' in the
standards: this was a Netscape invention that browsers may or may not
recognize.

Another non-existent colour is 'grey': in the standards it is 'gray'.

You should also use CSS instead of deprecated FONT to specify colours.
