Table background-color with CSS

[BrianM]

Is there any trick to using background-color with tables, because it doesn't seem to want to work for me. Here is an example of how I am writing my code, maybe somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong and point me in the right direction.

 

<table class="login">

...

</table>

 

and in my style sheet linked to the page I have something like

 

table.login {

background-color: #FFFFFF;

}

 

Thanks for any help/advice.

that is the correct way to add a background color to a table maybe the stylesheet isnt linked correctly try changing the color see if it makes a difference or use a style tag inside the same page

Add that to tr's and td's as well. I used to have that problem

The left nav table. Look at the CSS and HTML for it.
