FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Noticed in J2SE 1.4.x, 1.5.0.
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Irrelevant, probably applies to all OSs.
EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Noticed on <URL:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html>.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
As seen on <URL:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html>, the javadoc tool generates pages which are inaccessible to many users, because the background color is set to white, and the foreground color is not set.
This results in a problem for uses who set the default colors in their browser to white on black, for example.
Solution:
Do not set any colors.
OR
Set the foreground color to black and set the background color to white.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use, for example, the Mozilla browser <URL:http://mozilla.org/>, and set the default colors to white foreground and black background. Then navigate to <URL:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html>.
You can also try this with any page generated by the javadoc tool, which does not use a stylesheet to override the colors.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Readable text.
ACTUAL -
You will not be able to read most texts, since they are presented in white on white background.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
The erroneous code snippet in the web page is:
<BODY BGCOLOR="white"
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use sed on the generated pages to remove
BGCOLOR="white"
