[SOLVED] Style affects interface

I'm working on converting an existing community website to run in CMS Made Simple and naturally we want to reflect the existing look which everyone likes.

http://www.tvcm.co.uk/sites/margrovepark/

the background image that surrounds the page is meant to reflect the fact that is rural village is surrounded by trees. It's all ok until you want to edit a page in which case the WYSIWYG editor has that background image in the text edit box which obscures everything. How can we avoid this.

CMSMS V 1.2.2.

Search is your friend...

In editor admin is a box for background color...

background-color:#FFF ...

Thanks for that. I've tried what you say but it has no effect. I'm using TinyMCE as my editor and I've tried various things in the

Body Tag CSS: box which seems to be the only place to do it. Nothing works including:

background-color:white;

background-color:#FFFFFF;

and a few other variations. I've also searched and found others with similar prob but not seen a conclusive solution particularly for TinyMCE - should I change my editor?

You did hit the Update button below that right?...

Also try the 'Strip Background Tags From CSS'...

I guess the answer to this is that there is no answer. I'm working with this group today so I will have to remove the background image from the site that is showing up unwanted in the editor. Shame to have to alter the site to suit the editor

In the Tiny settings, where it says Body Tag CSS.

Don't forget to hit the Update button
