ive been watching a tutorial that has told me to change the background color of a webpage by using:
body {background-color:red;} however when i try and load the page in google chrome the background remains white?
This is my full code:
<!doctype html> <html> <!--Document START--> <head> <!--Head START--> <title>Page Title</title> <style type="text/css"> <!--CSS START--> body { background-color:red } </style> </head> <body> <!--Body START--> <h1>Page Title</h1> </body> </html> The problem is you have an html comment within your css.
<style type="text/css"> <!--CSS START--> Remove the <!--CSS START--> and it will work fine.
If you want to add comments within css then you can use /* */, e.g:
<style type="text/css"> /* CSS START */ This works for you.
body { background:red; } Ahhh yes, the problem is you have a html comment in the css, so it will not work after: –
Should be:
body { background-color:red; } (You forgot the ; after "red")
