if you're using css (i certainly hope you are) you style should read
Code:
body {background-color: #000000;}
or if the thing you're using to make the site creates the code for you and you dont know where to put the above then just edit it and then in the HEAD section (between <head></head>) add
Code:
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: #000000;}
</style>
that help?

couple of checklists

make sure the syntax is correct

color is spelt right (trust me many get this wrong )

since u say its white

most likely it will be spelling for the color

if you specify background color like

<body bgcolor="black"

make sure the " is closed.. (couldnt get the word for it right D
)

If you are using a template form elated.com, most of them seem to external css files. This is indicated by:

HTML Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
with possibly a different href name. You will need to find this file (style.css) and change the background-color here. Refer to brokensoul's reply for this.

It would probably be a good idea to ask on the Elated Forums. Use the Site help forum and you will get an answer direct from Simon or Matt

can you give us a link to the site, then we can by chance look at the codes and determine the problem. Or post the codes here.

it looks like the problem is not serious enough cause jcon89 is not interacting with our solutions.
