I was just wondering if there was an html code for changing the background color to a line of text. Not the color of the text but the space behind it. Thanks for any help!

try this...

<span style="background-color:#ff0000;"> text here </span>

Or, more simply.

<font BGcolor=Whatever>

bgcolor is not a valid property of the font tag.

the font tag has size, color, and face for properties.

for coding standards, the css equivalent should be used instead of the font tag.
