[SOLVED] Wrappers not maintaining bg colour?

[idire]

I was trying to use a wrapper type css div to make a page 1000px wide with inside it other divs that remain with its formatting.

 

The divs I want are:

 

wrapper: 1000px wide

header: 1000px wide and 50px high

 

menu: 200px wide

table: 800px wide

 

I have these enabled as divs:

 

<div id="wrapper">

 

<div id="header">

</div>

 

<div id="menu">

</div>

 

<div id="booktable">

</div>

 

</div>

 

 

The problem I have is the background on the menu, and the table doesnt follow the same colour as the wrapper.

On the left side of the page, the white background ends where the menu div ends, then below it it goes back to the body colour

 

any idea why?

Fixed by clearing the floats.
