 * First, and don’t take this the wrong way, but there was no need to post the entire
   contents. A simple link would have sufficed.
    Second, to set the background color
   of the page, set the background-color in the body section…. ` body { background-
   color: #RRGGBB; /* use your hex value here */ . . . all your other definitions
   in the body tag . . . }  TG

 * The code that is goverening the white are is
    HTML > BODY > table tbody tr TD
   So you need to take care of those last 3. CSS edited above – it can be seen using
   Firefox.

 * I don’t see a bg change.
    But the bits of white are the top corners ? Because
   the images have rounded edges yet the image is still square. You’d probably need
   to redo the image in a graphics program – you can’t set white to be transparent
   though as that would affect the inner box too.

 * do you think changing those boxes to a shade of lighter blue or maybe a shade
   of gray would work color wise?
    if so what hex colors would you suggest? thanks

 * i have edited the style sheet to change the bg color. yet in ie6 sp2 it does 
   not show. it does show up in ie5.5.
    someone earlier said that they did not see
   the change either. i do not know what browser they are using. how can i make 
   sure this change will take place when viewed in ie6, 5.5, ff? i have looked for
   some sort of notation in the index.php for the site yet i do not see one. when
   i right click and look at the source code in note pad i see a comment for a white
   bg color, i think that color is in the text boxes, i am not 100% sure. i do not
   see any sort of direct html page or coding to change. please help thanks mark

 * 1) It’s background-color, not backgorund
    2) Add a ; to the end of it…. that’s
   causing some of your grief as well. TG
