DIV Background Color does not display in browser

Problem

DIV Background Color does not display in browser

Solution

DIV Background Color does not display in browser

Detailed description

Hello,

I will appreciate any help or advice. Thanking you in advance!

I’m building website using Dreamweaver CS4.

I’ve created a template with four (4) editable regions,

IE.

1 x main content DIV with transparent background

* 1 x content DIV with white background for behind our text content

2 x sidebars with image background

42 pages built based on this template (.dwt)

　

The PROBLEM(s) as follows:

a). The colour background of content DIV* does not display in browsers IE or Firefox,

IE. So there is no white background displayed behind text as required for visibility of text.

Please advise how to get selected background colour to appear behind text in browser?

b). While working on various CHILD pages, changes made to background colour of DIVs

on CHILD, have ALSO changed the background colour of the DIV in template (Not supposed to happen this way... right?) And in turn change the background colour of all 42 pages built from the template.

Please advise why this is happening and how to prevent its re-occurance?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Riann
