Hi Kim,
I can't explain why it's not working on your design but here simple example
of a two column layout with a specific background which may help.
HTML:
<div class="wrap">
<div class="rightcol">Right column</div>
<div class="content">Left column content</div>
<div class="footer">Left column footer</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrap {
width: 755px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.rightcol {
width: 150px;
float: right;
background: transparent;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
}
.content {
width: 600px;
float: left;
background: #000000;
}
.footer {
width: 600px;
float: left;
background: transparent;
}
The entire 'content' div will have a black background but everything else
is left transparent.
