hi there. I'm trying to make the background on my comic's homepage plain blue... nothing complicated at all. this is the code I tried.

<body bg color="blue">
<div id="containment">
<center>
<h1 id="comictitle"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y204/chibi_chimera/blueskyheader.png"></img></h1>
<table width="760" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="navcontainer">
<tr>
<td align="center"><ul>
<li>Comic:</li>
<li><a href="<!--[URL_FIRST]-->">First</a></li>
<li><a href="<!--[URL_LAST]-->">Previous</a></li>
</ul></td>
</tr>
</table>

I tried some variations too, but nothing works... help? D:

on that code snippet, you need to put the "bg color = 'blue'" into a style tag and change "bg color" to "background-color". Or take that out, go into the style tags at the top of the code and change the background color in the body tag section to blue or #0000FF. Those changes should fix it all.

Essentially <body style="background-color: #0000FF;">

Not a problem. If you need any other HTML assistance, let me know.
