No background color in include file

[Andy128]

I have a header which has a different background color that the page that the header is going to be "included" into. For some reason using

<?php
include("otherpage.php");
?>

The elements show up but the background is white?

Any suggestions

Hi Andy. Only an idea! but try making the background a small 1kb image for the other page. I was trying something similar a wile back & found the main pages instructions seem to override the part that was being imported.
Worth a try.

Just plain pure genius!!! That worked.

Interesting how it overrode the bg properties.

Thanks again Chris.

Cheers,

Ah! thats good. If we cant do it one way we can always find a way around it. lol. I have noticed that BV's main page css overrides the background when using colour's But images seem to get a priority. Must be further up the css food chain.

Good luck.
