http://www.begin-weight-loss.com/index.html Over on the left, if you go down below "food and weight loss" you might see a google ad, or a blank space. But to the left of that, there is a white space with a hyphen in it. That hyphen is in a table of its own. I set the bg color to F2F2FF, but no matter what I do, it comes up as white. I know its just one little tiny thing, and may not seem worth any fuss, but I plan on doing the same thing elsewhere in the site, so if its not working i want to figure out why.
You have omitted the "#" for the colour value. <td width="9" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="F2F2FF"><strong>-</strong></td> needs to be <td width="9" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#F2F2FF"><strong>-</strong></td>
Try: <td width="9" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#F2F2FF"><strong>-</strong></td> HTML: Also, I suggest switching to CSS whenever you can. EDIT: Whoops, he beat me to it
Lookingforgroup is right - since you are using XHTML, use styles, since the bgcolor is not supported in XHTML (strict) and deprecated from HTML 4.01 and above.
