Getting a weird issue with the background on my blog...

[URL=http://www.imagedemon.com/image.asp?name=&im=1&id=060504160249-295490541&pic=1&up=&s=6]http://files6.imagedemon.com//thumbs/060504160249-295490541--1.jpg[/URL]

Changed every mention of #fff I can find but there are still bands of white. Any ideas?

Thx.

unfortunately, you cant, or atleast I cant, tell much by an image. A link to the page in question would be much more helpful.

Without seeing it I could guess that maybe there is a background image as part of the css. I know the kubrick2evo skin uses a background image, and many others do as well. The only way to fix that would be to edit the background image file.

Anyway, this may not apply to you at all, but a link to your site would be more helpful as whoo said.

first thing to do is fix the validation issue related to the open </div> tag..

youve either got an extra one thats not needed or more likely a missing <div> above it somewhere

thats going to help to see what's what.

Right now, when i look at with the webdev toolbar the white stuff appears to sort of be hanging there.

Im guessing you went through all six of the stylesheets?

LOL ... I got a laugh when I clicked your picture, as I thought all that ImageDemon stuff was PART of your website at first. :lol:

I came around and had a look and can make this recomendation. In the custom.css file, chage the body element background from ...

background: #FFF7D3 url;

... to

background: #FFF7D3; 

The poor browser is looking for a background image URL and gets cut off at the knees. ;) That change made the whole site background the tan color, which I think is what you want.

Hope this helps. ;)

Odd ... as it was FireFox I tested it in. 8|

EDIT: Hmmm. Looks good in my IE6 sp2, FireFox v1.5.x, Opera v8 & Netscape 8.1 .. all from a PC

Sorted!

It turned out there was conflicting CSS tags in one of my other .php files... d'oh!

Thanks to all those who offered suggestions.

O.
