Having a problem with background color?

[jaambees]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I having with a
site I am trying to finish.

O.k. Here is the problem- My site is a basic sales page and I have tried adding background to the css file but it makes the entire page that color. I need white for the inside where text goes. Its just your basic salepage, background color to the outsides and white color and text to the inside.

I also tried adding it inot my php.head and that made the whole page one color again, does anyone know how to fix this. My header and footer are 800pixelswide, I need everything outside of that to be background color?

Sorry for the long explanation from the "Newbie".

Thanks
Jaambees

OK. Make your body background the non-white color by doing this in your CSS:

Code: Select all

body {
background:#00c; /* change this to the color you want, right now it's blue */
}

And make the content white by adding this:

Code: Select all

#wrap {
background:#fff; /* white */
}

Then, put your page content and footer into a div with the id "wrap". Like this:

HTML: Select all

<div id="wrap">
<div>Content</div>
<div>Footer</div>
</div>

That should do it...
