HTML CSS Background-Color

http://paulsfiles.vacau.com/

I'm trying to add a background-color to #maintext but it isn't showing up. The body image seems to be over-riding the #maintext, even though #maintext is more specific.

Here's how I'm trying to lay it out.

The logical order I'm going for is the nav within the header, and the main text before the images. It's a fixed width site as well.

Didn't you use the same color code #6E6E6E for #maintext and #wrapper?

Works fine for me if I change the color for #maintext. Hope that helps? Otherwise please come back to me :)

In styles.css line:115 you have this:

#maintext {
  float: right;
  width: 570px;
  background-color: #6E6E6E;
  padding: 20px;
}

That background-color happens to be the same one as the #wrapper. #maintext is not being overridden, at least not in the link you posted
