Hi,
I have created one homepage and specified a colour to fill beyond the border (a green shade).
I then created a second homepage and specified a different colour to fill beyond the border (a red shade).
Now when I go back to the first homepage the red shade is specified as the background fill.
Is there a way to have each homepage keep it's own background fill colour that anybody knows of?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Again Devek,

Thank you for responding.

I apologise for not being very clear.

I have 2 websites. One up and running and a second in the process of being built. When I set the background fill properties to green for the first website, it seems to automatically choose the same green background fill properties for the other website when I open it. If I change this second website to red, then when I close it and open up the first website, it now has a red background.

When I say background fill, I am talking about the colour beyond the border of the page. ie. By choosing settings then background fill properties.

It would not be so annoying except that I am creating a custom colour. Of course I took forever to get it just right, and VSD doesn't save custom colours. I have to try to recreate the colour each time.

I tried to open VSD twice. I opened a different website in each application but this still didn't work.

I'm thinking (as I type this) that I should try to work out the html code for the background and insert it into the header. Would this work? And if so, do you know how I work out this code?

I already have html code in the header so that links aren't underlined. Can I just paste more code underneath to help with this problem?

(I obviously know very little about code...)

Thanks again. I appreciate you time.

Sharon you could put this in the head section just change the color code,

<style type="text/css">
body {
background: #808080; <-----change this------<
}
</style>

will need to be added to each page

Ok Bruce. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
I tried this code but it made both inside and outside the border have the background colour. I only wanted outside the border to have the background colour.
Any ideas?

Hi Sharon,
For VSD the best way I can think of or believe is by using CSS. best example for now that I can show is

but if your using html editor for your pages it's the best way. there are better ideas on how to do this so I'm sure others will join in this thread.
