  • Is the left column/sidebar wrapped in a div with the white background?
    Are each of the widgets floating? You may need to clear:both.

    Hi Quin thanks for the reply

    how do I find out ? is the infomation in the style sheet ?

    How do I clear it ?

    Okay, I’ve had a look at the source.

    If you want a white background on the areas, you need to either apply background:#fff; to the areas, or wrap all the areas in a div with a white background (to look like one area).

    thanks again quin

    Do I use the div tags ?

    can you suggest the code to put into the post. i cant seem to find it anywhere

    <!-- HTML -->
<div class="sidebar">
<div>WIDGET AREA 1</div>
<div>WIDGET AREA 2</div>
</div>

/* CSS */
.sidebar { background:#fff; }

    Something like that – it’s difficult to code on the iPad.
