Getting a seperate background

Hi,

If I make my background= a pattern, and I make a CSS container to put text into, can I make that containers background into a seperate color (i.e. white), while still keeping the site background filled with the pattern?

I hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Joe

Re: Getting a seperate background

Yea, that is just one way of doing it.

You can define a DIV class name or ID:

.white{ background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;}

Now I assume you are using tables as you mention the Background= attribute.

So you can say:

<body background="pattern.gif">
<div class="white">

Now you have a white background for all the black text in your white class DIV.

But as I said this is only one way, you can nest tables one with a pattern and one with white. Or do it all with a series of CSS defined Classes and IDs and no tables at all.
