How do I change the background color in the left sidebox?

[clydejones]

It did, background-color: #fffffff;

I changed that to
background: #fff url('..images/harbor_sceneSketch.gif');

No visible change.

This is what works in my original page...I also tried it without the '#fff ', no difference.

Now, I'm assuming that - since both the css & image folders are under the same /includes/templates/orcatools/ folder, that the '..images/harbor_sceneSketch.gif' will locate it correctly. I also have another image (the background for the header) that is in the same folder, so I'm pretty sure that's correct.

taking a look at your site would be a great help.
