background image in left column

[petra]

This is what I did and it is not working. Can anyone hepl me please!

 

First I created a new class in stylesheet.css

 

.column_left {

background:#FFFFFF url(images/column_background.gif) repeat-x;

color: #666666;

margin: 0px;

}

 

and then I added this code in the index file.

 

<td class="column_left" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"">

 

<!-- left_navigation //-->

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?>

<!-- left_navigation_eof //-->

 

Nothing appears. :'( TIA petra

Your info box classes are located in includes/classes/boxes and not in the left and right columns. Making column changes will do nothing to the boxes.

 

If you want 1 box different from the rest you must go to includes/boxes locate that box and give the new style class there.
