[resolved] DIVs - CSS color not working? (2 posts)

    Hello! I am having a bit of issue with my current coding.

    I am attempting to change the entire color of my "wrapper" DIV. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working no matter what I do with the code.

    Here is the file code;

    <body>

		<div id="wrapper">

			<div id="header">

				<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img height="28" src="images/index_03.gif" width="128"></a>

					<div id="searchform">

						<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

					</div><!--SearchForm-->

			</div><!--Header-->

			<div id="container">

				<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
				<?php endwhile; ?>
				<?php else : ?>
				<?php endif; ?>

			</div><!--Container-->

			<div id="footer">

			</div><!--Footer-->

		</div><!--Wrapper-->

	</body>

    And here is the CSS code;

    #wrapper {
  width: 1000px ;
  margin-left: auto ;
  margin-right: auto ;
  color: black ;
}

#header {
  width: 1000px ;
  float: left ;
  border-bottom: 2px solid #5F5F5F;
  margin: 10px 0 0 0;
}

#searchform {
  float: right ;
}

    It should be noted that I have tried using Background-color and Background-image with no success. Thanks!

    I am a big dummy! I found the error to be with the children divs.

    For anyone else who has this issue, the resulting code for your css;

    #wrapper {
  width: 1000px ;
  clear: both ;
  margin-left: auto ;
  margin-right: auto ;
  background-color: black ;
  overflow: hidden ;
}
