Changing background colour - having two pagewrappers [Solved]
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 2:11 pm
Hi guys,
The template i am using has two pagewrappers. I am a lil bit confused on how to go about changing the colour of the background of two sections of the website.
My problem of changing colour to white for two areas stil remains:
Also, The two areas:
1) Breadcrums/Search/Flags -> I wanted to colour that white so it looks part of the main content block.
2) Above the footer and Below content area - I am getting the lightblue background coming through.. I wanted make this white as well inline with the above content area.
Can you please help me tweak my CSS to change the colour into white.
I have attached few screen shots to demonstrate what I wanted to acheive.
Thanks.
