how to change background colour in article?

hi all,

i would like to change my background colour from white to black in one of my "single articles", appearing in "carroussel" position.

is there any html solution via backend or do I need to change some css-files, which I am not familiar with...

thanks and regards

I'am not sure what you mean by "Carousel" , i guess you thing of newsflash (on demo home page) if yes you can use this in css:

#fragment-1 .infotext{
background-color:...
}

1 should be changed to order number of text you want to change color.

(you can add this at the bottom on template_css.css if you can not think of better place)

hi ivan,

no, it´s not the newsflash, it is an article.

the position is definitely "carroussel", to find in template´s backend preview of "furniture store".

module where the article appears is submenu "pasusu show room", to find in frontend´s top menu under "pasusu fontane"

I was trying now to change via backend the backgound color of this article by clicking "edit html source" button.

I filled in "<div style="background-color:#444444">", clicked save and backend saved successfully.

But only the tag itself appears now in the frontend, see in link:

pasusu-art-lounge.de/index.php/2011-10-0...installation-no-demo

just want to change bg color from white to #444444.

by the way: would installing of firebug probably be helpful to see the tags and where to edit them?

thanks in advance for your help,
with kind regards

solved:
just changed under "layout.css" in "main area" color in #000000, it works=)!

cheers
