Egay is really living up to it's name! images/smilies/vampire.gif

I'm putting some stuff on ebay for my work and I've never really put anything up on ebay before.

I've done the html code in dreamweaver, but whenever I paste the code into ebay's description box it comes out nothing like it should look like.
My work's website is here, and all I'm trying to do is get the backgrounds to match.

The colour is #a2c8ed but when I preview it, the background for the entire ebay page changes instead of the bit I need. I've included screenshots for what I mean cause I have trouble understanding myself sometimes images/smilies/tongue.gif

What it should look like:

What it looks like on ebay:

What am I doing wrong? here's the code I use (I changed the background for each style in case that might have worked, but it hasn't images/smilies/vampire.gif

)

been a long time since i last used html, but on first sight, you set your class for each paragraph

, shouldn't the backgroundcolor be set in <body> or <div>?

.m1ke · August 7th, 2006, 10:18 AM

I've tried all that images/smilies/sad.gif

, can't do it images/smilies/cry.gif

Normally you would start with with <body bgcolor = ffffff> to do the whole thing
