Hey people! I am trying to change the background color of the page for this css sheet covering the left and top of the document! How do I change the backround color of the document to black and change the text color to yellow?

Thanks

Hi,

As you'll see from my posts I aint no expert...
As far as I can see there's an external style sheet called csslayout.css.
So you'd need to get that off the server and alter the properties in there.

this css sheet covering the left and top of the document

I'm a bit confused by that - what do you mean covering the left and top?

no... this is one of the most basic and bottom lines of all codes.
im pretty sure its <document.bgColor="#color"> but im not sure. ive done it before but I dont remember.

Also, Im talking about a TOP CSS sheet (like a website format)
and also something similar to the one on TOP, only on the LEFT. Open the html document I attached and you will see what I mean. Ill get up load it to my geocities account and show you.


chere we go:

<style>

body
{
background: url(img.gif) top left; //pic starting top left

or

background: #000000; //black bg

color: yellow; // yellow text, don't remember the code in head
}

</style>

But this is the very basic!
There are millions of guides out there if you just search...
