Suddenly I cannot change the BG color of my simple web page. I tried changing the external style sheet and then changing the style on the page code itself. No good. I thought it might be the browser cache but I checked the site on a neighbors computer and still the problem persists. I also cannot tile my background image all of a sudden. Did I flip some switch or something?

Bill, I agree with Ben. It is hard to help you solve this without a visual.

Initially, to blind troubleshoot this...I was thinking that you need to make sure your CSS for body is written as ...

body {background-color: #f00;} or whatever color you need.

Then for the background not tiling, I was thinking you need to make sure the width and height for the container that you want to tile are large enough for tiling to happen, or that you have enough additional content in the area for it to tile, that you don't have it set not to repeat, that you have background-repeat: repeat; or many other things.

If none of those are the solutions, then one of us will have a better picture of how to solve your problem with you once you post a snapshot of your code or a link to your site.

note that if you scroll down to the bottom, the bg image ends and white bg begins. I want to either tile the bg image down or use #919191 grey color as bg color.

Thanks in advance.
