    Default in edit view, all background is black, cannot see text

    Hi,
    The site I'm working on displays just fine in the regular view, but when I go
    into edit, the edit areas are all black. I've deleted all the background-color
    in my css -- doesn't make a difference.
    here's the site:
    [url]http://earlychildhoodoptions.org/trial01.html[/url]
    I've looked around but haven't found anything to help.
    Please help.
    thanks in advance

    What version of Contribute are you using? I copied your source and tested in
    Contribute CS3 and could edit the page without any problems... Maybe an older
    version has problems with the CSS you use in the page.

    Hi,
    thanks so much for getting back to me. My client and I are both using version
    3. I narrowed down the code that is giving me the problem:

    /* ROUNDED CORNERS BOX */
    .bl {background: url(../images/lower-left.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #fff; width:
    17em; background-color: #fff; background-color: #fff;}
    .br {background: url(../images/lower-right.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat}
    .tl {background: url(../images/upper-left.gif) 0 0 no-repeat}
    .tr {background: url(../images/upper-right.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding:
    10px 9px 10px 9px; background-color: #fff;}
    .clear {font-size: 1px; height: 1px;}


    .bl-r {background: url(../images/lower-left.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #fff; width:
    40em; background-color: #fff;}
    *.bl-r {background: url(../images/lower-left.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #fff;
    width: 38.5em}
    .br-r {background: url(../images/lower-right.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat}
    .tl-r {background: url(../images/upper-left.gif) 0 0 no-repeat}
    .tr-r {background: url(../images/upper-right.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding:
    10px 9px 10px 9px; background-color: #fff;}
    .clear-r {font-size: 1px; height: 1px;}

    .bl-h {background: url(../images/lower-left_header.jpg) 0 100% no-repeat #fff;
    width: 21em; background-color: #dfdfdf;}
    .br-h {background: url(../images/lower-right_header.jpg) 100% 100% no-repeat}
    .tl-h {background: url(../images/upper-left_header.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat}
    .tr-h {background: url(../images/upper-right_header.jpg) 100% 0 no-repeat;
    padding: 10px 9px 10px 9px}
    .clear-h {font-size: 1px; height: 1px;}

    .bl-i {background: url(../images/lower-left.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #fff; width:
    57em}
    .br-i {background: url(../images/lower-right.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat}
    .tl-i {background: url(../images/upper-left.gif) 0 0 no-repeat}
    .tr-i {background: url(../images/upper-right.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding:
    10px 39px 10px 9px}
    .clear-i {font-size: 1px; height: 1px;}

    specifically the bl and tr wher I added the background-color: #fff.
    then the edit contribute screen is OK to edit, but I loose all but one rounded
    corner.

    More thoughts?

    Try this:

    .bl {background: url(../images/lower-left.gif) no-repeat #fff; width: 17em;}

    instead of:

    .bl {background: url(../images/lower-left.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #fff; width:
    17em; background-color: #fff; background-color: #fff;}
