Guest Liron Tal Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hello,On another page I built I used two Div's: one for the Header and the other on for the Links-bar below the header. I tried to put backgroun color and to modify them using CSS and I couldn't find why I can't see the modifications I've made. I'm using an Explorer 6 browser. I put only the code for the two Div's and not the whole code. So what's wrong?(the horrible colors are just for the test, of course.)Thanks,Liron. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html><head><title> TEST PAGE</title><style type="text/css"> body { margin:10px 10px 10px 10px; } #header { position: absolute; left:5%; width:100%; top:3px; background:#A9A9A9; border: dotted 5px; } #links { position: absolute; left:5%; width:100%; top:100px; background:Blue; border: double red 3px; }</style></head><body> <div bgcolor id="Header"> <h1> Header Strip</h1> </div> <div id="Links"> <h1>Links</h1> </div> </body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Err Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 <div bgcolor id="[b][color="red"]H[/color]eader[/b]"> <h1>Header Strip</h1></div><div id="[b][color="red"]L[/color]inks[/b]"> <h1>Links</h1></div> You have capitalized your id's in your HTML, but didn't in your CSS. You should stick to lower case code to avoid this confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokingMan Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 <div bgcolor id="Header"> Would you even need "bgcolor" when you're setting the color of the element using the id="header"? Wouldn't that make IE scratch it's pointy little head and not know what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
