Hiya guys my first post. I have a box where there is html inside it to link to my site but the box has no background colour it's insides are transparent.

Here is my code:

Code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.textborder {
border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="textborder">&lt;a href="http://sasprites.co.nr/index.html" target="_blank"img src="http://sasprites.co.nr/Link To Us Logo.png" border="0" alt="SaSprites"/a&gt;</p>
</body>
</html>

If you look at my site:

http://sasprites.co.nr/

(please don't comment on how bad it looks)

on the right of the page it shows the box with the html inside it...I want the inside colour to be white.

Any help?

EDIT: OH boy I need help changing the text colour as well :S

If you don't set background-color it will be transparent.

It's still not working...here is my updated code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="textborder"><a href="http://sasprites.co.nr/index.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://sasprites.co.nr/Link To Us Logo.png" border="0" alt="SaSprites"/a></p>
</body>
</html>

The background of the box changed to white but the text stays white

get rid of the html comments in the style sheet AND format the CSS correctly.

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">
.textborder {
border: 1px solid #003366;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
body {
color: #000000;
}
</style>

I suggest you spend some time reading up on CSS at http://www.w3schools.com/css/
