problems with nav bar color

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have been working on this page with CSS and need help with my navigation bar. I applied a background color but some odd reason it isn’t changing color to what I specify. It wants to keep it white. If you can help me and look at the files attached I’d appreciate it.

[CODE]<div =id="navigation">[/CODE]

Change it to:

[CODE]<div id="navigation">[/CODE]

@ecrossauthorSep 14.2011 — Why do I need to use html, body together like this:

[CODE]html, body {

}[/CODE]

When I ommit the [I]html[/I] part the my whole document messes up. Why can't I just use Body { } instead?

@ecrossauthorSep 14.2011 — This is what I have between the brackets:

[CODE]html, body {
background: #FFFFFF;
font: 12px/18px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
width: 100&#37;;
height: 100%;
}[/CODE]

@cbVisionSep 15.2011 — Probably has something to do with your height and width being set to 100&#37;.

You could be safe with something like this:

[CODE]html, body {height: 100%; width: 100%;}
body {background: #fff; font: 12px/18px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;}[/CODE]
