vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Please Help: RE: Seperating cms from sidebar

FatalCure · #1 03-10-2011, 06:37 PM

Hey guys, wondering if someone can give me a little help as I am not that great with html etc and vb4 makes this much more difficult with it's grid system etc.

Basically I want to give my news/cms/forum area a background color, but I don't want this to include the sidebar area. I've drawn an image in paint to help you guys understand.

Figure 1 is what I have atm.
Figure 2 is what I want.
Figure 3 is what I have managed to accomplish by giving the body_wrapper div a background color but I don't want it to extend all the way across to the sidebar if that makes sense.

I realise I will probably need to add a new div, basically encapsulating that area of the page but I am having trouble working out where to add this code. If someone could please show me what to edit I would very much appreciate it.
