span tag background color not working in swing application

Question

I am displaying text in jlist using html. The background color is not changing for the span tag. Is there any way I can try to change background color? I also want to know if there is any tool/online site where we can validate html for Swing applications.

<span 'background-color=green'> <b>Name : </b> </span>

Thanks

background-color is a CSS style, you can add it to an HTML element with style attribute:

<span style="background-color:green"> <b>Name : </b> </span>

You can validate HTML using W3C Markup Validation Service: http://validator.w3.org/
