Background color

G

Guest

I am trying to apply a background color to a web site that I am working on
and can not get it to work.
I change the color in the page properties and it will work in the design
view in FP but when I switch to preview view or view it in a browser the
background is still white, no color.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you have a theme applied to the site?

If so then you have to modified the theme, save under a new name, then remove the current theme and
apply the newly modified theme.

I am not sure, I thought about this but I have never used a theme before.
How would I check to see if a theme is applied and can I just take it out
without messing anything up.
Here is the code for my index page if that will help.

Thanks for the reply.

code:

You don't have a theme applied, however your body tag is format incorrectly, which is why the
background color is not showing:

<body " topmargin=" bgcolor="#D2DDE3">

Change To:

<body topmargin="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

That worked perfect! Thanks.
How could I change it so that there is background color at the top and
bottom as well.

Thanks again!

I think what Thomas meant to say was

<body topmargin="0" bgcolor="#D2DDE3">

The error was in your topmargin not in the colour

Cheers,
Jon
