custom code question on changing comment background

[greenfly 230]

hi everyone. sorry to bother you with suck a dull question but... im trying to change the background of the comments on the blog posts and have used firebug etc to ascertain some custom CSS as follows

'#social {
	  background-color: #3C9CD3;}'

it doesn't work. i have tried other selectors other than #social but have lost count of what i have tried. Can anyone help? thanks in advance

Try this CSS code [code]#social { background: #3C9CD3; }[/code] It??s work fine in my firefox - firebug ;)

Great stuff, thank you Batman - that worked brilliantly. there are a few more bits of the comments box thing that are still white. for example, the '[i]or[/i]' in the header divider has a white background. i would therefor expect to put the following code into custom css [code]#social #social-divider {background-color: #3C9CD3;}[/code] or [code]#social .social-divider {background-color: #3C9CD3;}[/code] do you know what am i doing wrong? am i missing the point entirely? thanks for the swift answer.

[s] by the way - first time you wrote[/s] [code]#social #respond {background-color: #3C9CD3;}[/code] [s]and that worked fine now i see it written as [code]#social[/s] { background: #3C9CD3; }[/code] [s]in your comment[/s][/s] ah i see what you did!

I??m a newbie but really "Nop" [code]#social { background: #3C9CD3; }[/code] and [code]#social { background-color: #3C9CD3; }[/code] works fine in my firebug only it is different like you write first [code]'#social {background-color: #3C9CD3;}'[/code] with [b]'[/b].......[b]'[/b] I don??t know, sorry

@greenfly Now follow with this [code]#social #respond textarea.social-input, #social #respond input.social-input { background: #3C9CD3; }[/code]

[batman 389]

Finally [code]#social .social-nav li a { background: #3C9CD3; }[/code] and [code]#social input#submit {background: #3C9CD3 !important;}[/code] I think that is all :) If your problem is resolve please "Accepted"
