<DIV> color

[frontpage]

I have this tag in my site
<div style="position: absolute; width: 800px; height: 20px; z-index: 3;
left:-2px; top:127px" id="bluebar">
</div>
Is it possible to assign a background color to this? I have tried
backgroud-color in several places with no luck. I am new to the <DIV> tag, i
have always used tables so am not sure if i can even do it.
Or, after writing that do i need to put a 1 cell table in it and
background-color it?
thanks,
Jeff

Yes - you can do that in two ways, inline and in a stylesheet.

Either way, you would use the style -

background:blue;

so your inline code would be -

<div style="position: absolute; width: 800px; height: 20px; z-index: 3;
left:-2px; top:127px; background-color:blue;" id="bluebar">

and your stylesheet code would be -

#bluebar { background-color:blue; }

(obviously you would replace the color name 'blue' with whichever color you
want, and with hex or RGB values, as desired)

Oops - background:blue; ---> background-color:blue;

In layer properties, select Borders and Shading on the shading tab
select the wanted background color.
