Style Sheets (CSS)

[torweb]

I working on a theme from this site (Final Fantasy) and have spent the last two days trying to change the color of the background.  I've gone over the style shee as well as the template and cannot get the bg color to change.  Is there some kind of short-hand to help understand the what page elements are referred to by the CSS or is it just a random, makeup any name you want.  Here is the CSS for this theme...Am I missing something?

Thanks...

You can use the developer toolbar for firefox or the Web Accessibility Toolbar for IE to help you determine which elements are controlled by what CSS style.
