How do I change the color of my sidebar?

  • This is the code I’m using:

    #sidebar {
        float:left;
        width:250px;
        padding-left:5px;
       }

    I tried putting in background:#00bbff; but it only changed a small portion of my sidebar’s color.

    My theme is Silver Dreams, & my site is BrittanyWigand.com

  • If you give background:#00bbff , it effects only upto where the content of your sidebar ends.

    If u want much portion of your sidebar’s background to change add the height u want like

    #sidebar {
    float:left;
    width:250px;
    padding-left:5px;

    height:800px;
    }

    I tried that. It makes my page look messed up because on other pages the page is not that long, and I just have this humongous sidebar going down the page. I tried height:100%; & height:auto; but it didn’t work either.
