Hi,

I could need some help with an issue regarding my background color. I tried to change the background, but there is still two white bars on my site.

I did following:

}
.site {background: whitesmoke;
}

How do I either remove the two bars or change the color of the bars?

This is my site: http://www.tuekraemer.dk

Hi tueklarsen,

The .site css tag that you are using is changing the color for a specific class of div’s on your page.

If you would like all the content on your page to have the background: whitesmoke; you can add the following to your CSS:
body {background: whitesmoke;}
This will change the background of the entire body section of your site to be the same color as the site div.

I see on your site that you added
.body {
background: whitesmoke;
}

This would only work if you had a class called body, if you remove the . from before the body like this
body {
background: whitesmoke;
}
then it should work
