I would like to know how to make a background like the one at: http://www.incognito.diary-x.com Do you see that little blue box her text is in...does anyone know how to make that? If so, please explain. Thanks.

Just look at her source code.

She made a div layer and gave it the property she wanted in her css:

She called her Div entry and her css is:

div.entry
{background-color: #9F91BB;
font-family: Arial;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 10.5px;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
padding-left: 1px;
padding-right: 1px;
overflow: auto;
border-color: #000000;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
filter: alpha(opacity=55);
scrollbar-face-color:#9F91BB;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#9F91BB;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#9F91BB;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#9F91BB;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#9F91BB;
scrollbar-track-color:#9F91BB;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#000000
}
</style>

Opacity though only works in IE, in netscape, all you see in her site is a purple box with writting.

If you want to do something like that, make a graphic and in your graphic program, make an rectangle that's see through and then just make a regular div layer and your text will be over that rectangle.

If that makes sense.

I apologize in advance, as I know this doesn't help with the initial problem, but how do you get the source code of a web site?

Right click on a page and click view source. Or go to the view menu in your browser and click on source

yuppers... I agree... just make a specific area that you want to have your text and section it off in a rectangle ect... it adds a nice clean look to your site and you do not have to mess with messy codes... go to Lissa's DIV layer tutorials if you do not know how to make a DIV layer.

Okay, thanks a bunch :stickout: On my computer it's called Afficher la source. I wish it were english. If someone asks for help I translate it and I'm never sure I'm telling them the right info :lol:

Why don't you just change the language? Start --> Control Panel --> Language Settings

Thanks for the help :) I think my dad would prefer I leave it the way he has it set up though.

.. because that's my diary. :)
