I want the background of the scrollable text box to go with the colors of the site but there seems to be no way of changing them.


is there?

bgcolor=

that should work unless I don't understand what you are asking....

be it a "layer" or a "table".... or whatever.... you should be able to specify a bgcolor.

I'm talking about changing the color of the background in the text box and the scroller thing.



there doesn't seem to be a place where you can change the background color of the text box. I'm looking in the selection properties of the text box.

I could manually change it by using code but I don't know enough about code to do that.

The poster before you just told you how to do it. Select the text box in your wysiwyg view and then switch to code view. You should see the code selected before you. Now just insert: bgcolor="whatever hex value you want" in the head tag of the text box.

That is the only way to do it for now. Unless you want to use CSS. Could you please explain "undeleteable"?

Pick up any of the css files. Look for body and input styles.

anyone who views the site can delete the text in the text box.

[td valign="top" height="19" colspan="3"]
[div id="Layer2" style="position:absolute; width:110px; height:332px; z-index:2; left: 43px; top: 240px; visibility: visible"]
[form name="form1" method="post" action=""]
[textarea name="textfield" cols="20" wrap="VIRTUAL" rows="22"]5/25/02 :

blah blah blah[/textarea]

The css codes, just copy the two styles that I ask you to, and put them in your <style></style> inside the <head></head>

Edit the colors to fit your site. The colors will show up when you open you page in your browser.
