Hi
I have a site: http://iea.goldendome.org.uk I want to set the central page background to a light colour, but when I enter a background colour or background image, it fills the whole browser window, not just the central page area. Any ideas? cheers Brian |

The background of BODY often color the whole canvas. Wrap everything in a DIV instead and apply your styling to that. I.e. move the id and the inline style from BODY to the DIV
Inches is a unit for print. Better not use it on the web. -------------------- “Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.”
