Problem with bg colours
Hi.

I've got an element in my CSS such as:

PHP Code:
.footer {
  width: 760px;
  background-color: Aqua;
} 


I'm trying to use it in a table to have the table take on the properties of the .footer element. Currently I'm using it like this:

PHP Code:
<TABLE class="footer" ALIGN="CENTER" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td>MY CONTENT</td></tr></table> 


Should the bg of the table not be what I set in the CSS element???

Works in Mozilla Firefox!

Not sure if this is your problem, but you might stay away from color names and use hex values instead.

So instead of aqua, use #00ffff

If your tables cells have a background color defined, you won't be able to see teh tables's background color (the "aqua" you want) through those cells. Just a thought...
