hi there, I have used some code in my webpage but i'm having trouble editing it.

i've put the code at the bottom.
basically, I need to have the middle part of the page where the content is going colour #E9D7C3.

I tried using this in the 'background' css - but this doesn't seem to work.
Could someone please paste this code into Dreamweaver and give me an idea where i'm going wrong?
I have tried all sorts of padding settings etc..

any helpis gratefully received

Code:
<title> Pinewood Hotel  -  Opening In Style</title>
<meta name="Author" content="Matthew Johnson" />
<style type="text/css">

this is wrong

#header ul {
clear:both;
text-align:center;
border-top:1px solid #E9D7C3;
}

#header ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style-type:none;
background:transparent;
height:3em;
}

You can't use the same label twice like that, which might be the whole problem you are having.



----------------------------------------
Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..
 
ahaaa!
thanks for that, I must have copied and pasted wrong!
i'll take that out and have a look with what I am left with.

I also changed the colour in the 'container' class, and that had the effect that I want.
