  Hi,
  I have been looking at this most of the day and I don’t understand what I am doing wrong here. So hopefully someone can help me! I just want to change the navigation background color to black. It is currently light gray and I can’t seem to be able to do this. Here is my CSS code:

  #access {
background-color:#000000;
padding:10px 35px;
}

  .menu a:link,.menu a:active,.menu a:visited {
  color:#FFF;
  text-decoration:none;
  }

  .menu a:hover {
  color:#FFF;
  text-decoration:underline;
  }

  .menu {
  background-color:#000;
  }

  The hyperlinks css seem to go through but not the background.

  Thanks a lot!
  Geraldine

  Neverming, I just figured it out looking at he sandbox stylesheet file. It should be

  #access div{background:#000;}

  instead of

  .menu {
  background-color:#000;
  }
