Background colour in columns only

[adder667]

Hi,

Is there a way to change the background colour in the right or left colmns only?. Im trying to change a few colours here & there & at the moment to change the column colours i edit the stylesheet infoboxcontents (background color) file. This also changes the background colour of the new "products for blabla" box which i dont want because all my images have white backgrounds & it looks a bit poxy.
I will be grateful for any help here.

Thanks,
Adder.

Sure, here is how you do it:

Add a new class to your stylesheet.css, I called it TD.column :

TD.column {
  background: #F8E2AF;
}

Make the color #F8E2AF whatever you want.

Then edit your pages to reflect the new class. Find the section in your php files that looks like this:

<!-- body //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
  <tr>
    <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<!-- left_navigation //-->

and change it to look like this (note the new class="column" in the <td> tag). :

<!-- body //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
  <tr>
    <td class="column" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<!-- left_navigation //-->

Add this to all the files in the /catalog dir that display the columns, and you are done.

Thanks Msasek.
Actually i dont think i explained myself correctly. Basically what i want to do is colour the info box contents background individually. i.e catagories background blue, reveiws background green etc.
Is there a way to do this? I have read the hints & tips but cant see anything that refers to this specifically.

Best Regards,
Adder.
