LeftSidebox BG vs RightSideboxBG

[miles]

Im having problem changing my leftsidebox background image.. actually for the categories box only..i found my css for sideboxes like these:

for left

.leftBoxContainer {
border: 0px solid #ffffff;
margin-top: 0em;
}

for right

.rightBoxContent {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}

for both

.sideBoxContent {
background-color: #ffffff;
padding: 0.4em;
}

when i insert this code background-image: url("../images/pic_gif"); into the .sideBoxContent, both sideboxes background changed.

but if i insert it into .leftBoxContainer or .rightBoxContent, nothings change..why is that.??

need help..

#categoriesContent

It is sorta' hard to visualize, but I will attempt to explain the combination of Zen Cart templates and the CSS.

The Zen Cart pages are dynamically built using the php to pull together and arrange multiple parts and pieces. Many of those pieces are "stacked" on top of each other in various "layers" of code and html. Once you get familiar with who lives where it becomes easier.

Is what you are referencing a color mat that resides under/behind the text displayed?

Get FireFox & the Web Developers tool kit extention to allow you to discover the tag associated with the elements that you wish to style. Then you can seek them or add them to the stylesheet.

tag_name {
background-color: #??????;
     }
