Changing background color of nav?

Hi,
How can you change the color of the background color, text color of the lefthand column?
I am pretty much in the dark about PHP and CSS.. not even sure where to begin...
Anyone know?
Thanks!

In your CSS file...find the #menu rules and change...


#menu { background: #ff0000; }

That will change it to red. Currently it's set for white #fff.

Your CSS file is either here: ndxz-studio/site/sample/
or here: ndxz-studio/site/eatock/
depending on which Theme you are using in the Exhibits:Settings.

it appears that changing the "#menu" background color doesn't work on some pc computers..at least the few that i've checked. infact, i've come across a few problems when viewing various indexhibit sites on pc's.

everything is great on my mac though.

anyone else have similiar thoughts?

Firefox does the trick on pcs. Some older versions of ie are a little wonky (but then, not just for indexhibit).

makes sense. but, it seems something as simple as css background color should work on all browsers..even old versions of ie. i'll take a look at the code..i'm sure there's a way to make it work.

Some old, old versions of Indexhibit are still out there...they do have some issues.

Nothing is ever perfect...and our template set/css is pretty ambitious.

i am trying to set the #menu background color to black, but it is not working.

i have gone into the style.css folder for the sample template and modified it exactly as described above, setting it to #000000 to no avail. i also tried to set it to red as described, #ff0000, also to no avail.

the advanced mode is on, template is set to 'sample'

i have also tried with the 'eatock' template as well.

i am on a mac, using safari 4.0.3, and i have refreshed multiple times.

very frustrating.

and another thing...

i have modified other parts of the #menu in the style sheet and have gotten results. for example, i changed the width from 215 pixels to 300 and it changed on my site.

unbelievably frustrating to get so stuck on a simple thing.

i really really really really want the background of my nav menu to be black.

aarrgh.

it's maybe a syntax error....
have you got an address?

i have everything as white background at the moment, just trying to get it up and running...

Just change it in the stylesheet and edit out the colors rule from the background plugin. The default is always white...
