    Hi-

    I'm having a problem that's been voiced by several of you, involving changing the background color. When I change the background color in the first line of code, it changes the color for the entire site. I've gone through the various elements in CSS and changed each color individually back to white, however there are some areas (such as in the nav bar) where the background color shows through the content.

    It seems as if the page elements aren't contained within anything, and I'm trying to do that by adding a wrapper to my site. This will have the added benefit of creating an extra white space around the body content, since I'm going to make my wrapper 10 px wider than the container. Here's the problem:

    My wrapper is only working on the masthead. WTF?

    I've also tried adding a margin to the container, sans wrapper, which also only applies to the masthead. Argh. What gives? Have any of you been able to figure this one out?

    Thanks!

    There is probably some easy way to do this, and it probably could have been done using the custom.css file - but I tell you your site looks terrific! Having the background for the page really makes it nice. I think I've been going about adding color in the wrong way - I'm going to re-engineer what I did... Thanks for the ideas! : ) June

    I was able to create a wrapper sort of but the problem is this. It shows up differently in Internet Explorer 7 and in Firefox. I would prefer the site to to be the same in both Firefox and IE7 and would prefer them both to look like the IE 7 does.

    Here are links to the screenshots.

    Internet explorer 7: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x97/soxanddawgs/nonsports/soxanddawgsIE.jpg

    Does anyone have any ideas how to make the firefox one show as the IE7 one does?

    Thanks and have a happy thanksgiving for those who celebrate it.
