    Default Background image problems!

    Hi everyone!

    so my website is basically done :) yay finally. One of my remaining issues is the background. What i am trying to do is have the white background in the main body of the site (where the info is) and then on the left and right side instead of being white i would like it to be a like greyish colour. an example of this would be http://www.greatrep.com

    on this site they have the white centre body and then grey on the outside.

    my website address is www.purplemushroom.com.au

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    thank you

    Tim

    You have an additional stylesheet named stylesheet_tm.css, which duplicates the body {} rule. Anything in that file will override any conflicting settings you make in your main stylesheet.css.

    Find this in stylesheet_tm.css:
    Code:
    body{
    	padding:0; 
    	margin:0;
    	width:100%; 
    	vertical-align:top;
    	font-family:tahoma;
    	background:#fff;
    	color:#000; line-height:13px; font-size:10px;
    }
    and change the background there. Also change the rule for .main_w {} which is a TM-specific class:
    Code:
    body{
    	padding:0; 
    	margin:0;
    	width:100%; 
    	vertical-align:top;
    	font-family:tahoma;
    	background:#e5edf5;
    	color:#000; line-height:13px; font-size:10px;
    }
    
    .main_w {width:765px; margin:auto; background-color: #fff;}
