CSS background color problem

[JaynScott]

I created a header using CSS. I defined the background color of the header. I
also created a series of templates with editable regions, then built the pages.
The problem I'm encountering is when I open a page (that is defined to have a
white background) to edit it, the background color defined in the CSS header
section takes over and turns the whole page to that color (dark blue).
(I wouldn't care except that the corporate colors require the very dark blue
in the header and it makes it almost impossible to read the text on the page to
update/edit it.)

It is a very quirky problem because:
- the pages display properly in the browser
- the problem only occurs sporadically
- expanding the view in dreamweaver will sometimes correct the problem
- clicking on the layout tab and then back to the standard tab will sometimes
correct the problem

Two of us on this project are having this problem. Our on site tech help is
baffled.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to correct it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

How are you applying the color to the page? Using CSS, or HTML? And if CSS is
used, upon what element/selector is the coloring applied?

Also, what version of Dreamweaver are you using?

And can we see a URL or some code? Usuaully Dreamweaver doesn't screw up its
wysiwyg representation of BACKGROUND COLORING unless something in your code is
messed up.

Hi,
Sorry....I meant to include that information in the last post.
I the following CSS:
#header {
width: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
visibility: visible;
background-color:#36578C;
z-index: 1000;
padding: 0px;
position: fixed;
}

(This is standard throughout the company's pages.)
The version is MX2004.

The funny thing is, is that these pages have been being built for the last two
months and this "issue" is just now presenting itself. It seems to have
cropped up after we created the template pages.

Thanks!

that little bit of code you posted doesn't really tell me much about what is
causing the problem. All I can really say is that visibility: visible; is the
initial value, so that should not be needed.

If this problem just came up recently, then you should be looking into
whatever pages/templates you made recently. the problem may not even be related
to your CSS at all. It may be some bundle of clutter in your HTML code. Any URL
we can view by any chance?

position:fixed? Why? It's not supported in IE, you know?
