I cannot get the side navigation bar on my page to register the background color. Can Someone please tell me the correct command/coding to put in to make the side nav bar color? Where do you put it? I have used the CSS format. Thank You

Guessing you used divs...

background-color: #FFFFFF;

You put that in the class/id of the div. eg if the id was 'nav' then that part of your CSS would look like
#nav { background-color: #FFFFFF; }
including any other attributes you have.

If that's what you have and it still doesn't work (or you're not using divs), could you post your code or the page it's on?
