Another question: Here's a website I've created: http://myweb.chatham.edu/students/Saman … amProject/
And my style sheet: http://myweb.chatham.edu/students/Saman … rstyle.css
My question is, how can I get the menu to appear in white lettering inside the green stripe at the top? I've tried .navbar in my style sheet, but that doesn't seem to work.
Thank you!!!

Samantha, where is the CSS for <div id="navbar">?
You could include it in your header, or right under the header, just give it the same green background color and set the font color to white. But you need to include the navbar rules within your CSS.

Also, you would use #navbar (for ID), .navbar would be a Class.

I tried your suggestion, but the lettering does not change to white. And there's space between the header and the menu, but I just would like one solid green stripe across the top.

Here's the link: http://myweb.chatham.edu/students/Saman … index.html

Any advice would be great, thank you so much! I'm having so much trouble trying to figure this out.

I tried that, but it's still not working...please advise! Thank you!!

Sorry should have been

I copied the code below, I think something's interfering with the white text I'm intending for my menu:

/* Default CSS */
/* Generated by the CoffeeCup HTML Editor - www.coffeecup.com */

body {
background-color: #F8F8FF ;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #006400;
}

header {
background-color: #006400;
color: #F8F8FF;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 50px;
text-align:center;
}

#navbar {
background-color: #006400;
}

#nav a{
color: #F8F8FF;
}

.mrgnspc { /* this class can be used to space out an element in your page. */
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 35px;
font-size:20px;
text-decoration:none;
}

p {
line-height: 1.2;
}

h1 {
font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
color: #008000;
}

h2 {
font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
color: #008000;
}

img {
border: 4px solid black;
}

a {
text-decoration:none;
}

Thank you so much, that worked! My only other question is, how would I close up the space that now exists between the green background color for the header and the menu? Is that possible to do?
