Sidebar Box Background colour

[calmncomfy]

Hi

I'm site rebuilding in V9 (not live yet) & used custom design wizard for the theme.

I need to add sidebar boxes but need the text background to be white instead of the standard sidebar colour so it stands out. I tried experimenting with different palettes & using Hex code bgcolour="000000". Can't make it work.

The box I am working on is attached (NewSideBox.jpg)
The effect I am Looking for is also attached (CartBox.jpg)

I can't find code to copy from the Cart box layout to get what I want.

Can anyone help?

The layout code for the new custom sidebox layout is:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="10%" bgcolor="<actinic:variable name="Palette2" />"><img src="theme_tab2_left.gif" /></td>
<td bgcolor="<actinic:variable name="Palette2" />" width="80%" height="20"><span class="boxheading"><actinic:variable name="CONTACTTITLE" /></span></td>
<td valign="top" width="10%" align="right" bgcolor="<actinic:variable name="Palette2" />"><img src="theme_tab2_right.gif" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" class="thinborder2" style="padding: 3px;">
<actinic:variable name="CONTACTTEXT" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>

A hex color code has a # before it, otherwise it's just a series of noughts. And bgcolour is not spelt like that, it's bgcolor. All in all a pretty bad attempt you got going on there.
