HTML code background color

Hi

Did not know whether this would be a color or HTML related issue, but assume its the last.

I have integrated a player and a countdown timer in the homepage message section, the thing is I would like to be the background of that section to be black like the surrounding area around it.

The link to my forum is : http://valiant.friendhood.net

I have tried numerous color options ( all as far as I know ) but with no success.

Apart from that I'm quite certain the code is generating the white section as it only appears when I integrate the player and timer.

The code is as followed ;

If you could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated Smile

Here is a table code for color background.

Replace: #d0d0d0 with the color of your choice

Between the add your paragraphs

Code:: <html> <body bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is a paragraph. This is another paragraph. This is another paragraph. This is another paragraph. This is another paragraph. </body> </html>

Hmm either something else is wrong then or I'm doing something wrong then in the code as it remains a white background.

Adjusted the code like this but with no luck ;

<html>
<body bgcolor="#000000">

Hi Misabella,

I was having the same problem as you, only I didn't have a music player embedded in that area. I couldn't figure out how to change the background colour though. Your post and the answers I got helped me solve my problem! Smile

I'm not sure if this is any help to you or not but this is how my code looks:

Code:: <div style="text-align: left; font-weight: bold;">

It is the way I want it now but where it says "background-color: rgb(30, 30, 42) is what I changed. Before it said "background color: white;" so I found the colour code number I needed and inputted it in place of "white". When I did this and went back to look at the html code it had changed it to "rgb(30, 30, 42)".

I don't know if this helps you or not, but it worked for me. Smile

Thanks

Hi Brad,

Thanks for replying and suggesting your tip, been toying around a bit with that code, but doesnt seem to solve the issue either.

Odd thing is if i make a HTML page manually and I try the earlier mentioned code up in the thread it does seem to work, but on my frontpage it's stubborn.
