I would like to change the background color on my webpage but when I go to Document > Document Properties I don't see the selection to do that. I only see Page Title, DOCTYPE, Charset, Meta Description and Meta Keywords....what am I doing wrong?

If you open HTML Editor and start a new project from a blank page, there is a box that comes up and allows you to "preset" some of the pages properties. In the top-middle of this box is an option for background color. Otherwise you would need to use HTML coding within your file to change it... such as:

<!-- Codes by Quackit.com -->
<div style="background-color:yellow;width:200px;">
<p>HTML background code is limited, CSS background code is much better!</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/color/">HTML color</a></p>


Hope this helps

Most likely Mike, this would or should be contained within a CSS file. Do you have a link to your page we can look at? We could tell you much easier how to get to that setting that way :)

After a page is created, it's not possible to just open a window and change all those settings like it is in the beginning using the method that Phil has described so you do need to alter these things in the code after that.

Thanks for the replies. I can figure out how to change it from within the code, in the past I used Dreamweaver and it was always an easy change from a dialogue box with a color selector so I thought there may be the same option with this program.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
