    Ok,

    I’m sure this is fairly simple but being somewhat of a newb at php and css Im confused. I changed the background for northern web coder theme to an image now when I post the white that should in the post isnt and the text is over the background.

    http://erikschurig.com

    Basicly I want to post, have text on white, and have the bg be in the bg of the page not the post. I know the codes just what am I forgetting or not adding or both?

    Thanks,
    Erik

    Any ideas?

    Did you add a definition for the bg to the style.css or did it already have one?
    Also, what is defined in style.css for the white bg for the post?

    well in the theme the code was background: #color;

    but I changed that to background: url(img link);

    and when I did that I lost the white background in post so I have to think that color was tied into the background of the post since both where white. What can I add to make the bg of the post white and keep the image bg?

    Thanks samboll

    You could add a background color to the #content

    Thanks, but could you explain a little better. Im a total NEWB on css…where exactly?

    Thanks!!

    Well all themes are different in some reagards. Mine looks like this:

    body {
    font: 62.5% 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
    color: #444;
    background: #000000;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0 0 30px;
    }
    #page {
    background: white;
    text-align: left;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 20px 0 10px;
    position: relative;
    /* The entire template's width is set in this class. */
    width: 780px;
    _width: 740px;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    border-top: none;
    }

    As you can see my body has a black background, but my page (posts) area has a white background.

    If you can’t figure it out, go to:
    http://wordpress.pastebin.ca
    and paste your style.css there and post a link back here so we can look at it.

    In your css look for:

    #content
    {position: relative;
    left: 30px;
    float: left;
    padding: 0;
    width: 450px;
    color: #495865;
    font-size: 11px;}

    try adding background: #ffffff;

    Im a total NEWB on css

    Then you shouldn’t mess with it – on a live site 🙂

    “Exactly” in the #content part as delite said. (And I am telling you now it won’t make you 100% happy, because of the way the content div is included…)
    But we will not re-design your theme.
    You also have validation errors:

    unclosed divs don’t help.

    Moshu,

    I have searched and searched…where is the errors? I know line 113 column 26 but I have searched. Isnt there an option of page?

    On the validation page click Show Source and Revalidate.
    Every error # will become a clickable link that takes you to the exact location of the error in the source code.
