Really simple question

Hey,
I've seen this done before, and I've done it myself before, but I don't remember exactly how.What I want to do is change the text background to a different color. Its a cascading style sheet thing.

So that the text will appear to be highlighted... if you know what I mean.Thanks!

<style>
.textIdName {background-color:#0000FF;}
</style>

and then you have to put your text in a div:

<div id=&quot;textIdName&quot;>this text will have a blue background</div>

is that what you wanted?

You can actually just style the <p> tag containing the text if you wish, or use a <b>:

<b style=&quot;font-weight:normal;background-color:#0000FF&quot;>Highlighted text</b>

Since sometimes Div's are inconvenient.Remember every tag has a style attribute, even form elements.
