[Web4lib] CSS help?

[Andrew Hankinson]

Hi Junior,

Try putting a 'wrapper' div around your content and sidebar, like so:

<div wrapper>
	<div sidebar></div>
	<div content></div>
</div wrapper>

And then making the background of that wrapper white.  It should then  
'look' like the background of the sidebar is white, instead of the  
body background blue colour.
