It should be

#access div{background:#000;}

instead of

.menu {
background-color:#000;
}

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 {<br /> background-color:#000000;<br /> padding:10px 35px;<br /> }</p> <p>.menu a:link,.menu a:active,.menu a:visited {<br /> color:#FFF;<br /> text-decoration:none;<br /> }</p> <p>.menu a:hover {<br /> color:#FFF;<br /> text-decoration:underline;<br /> }</p> <p>.menu {<br /> background-color:#000;<br /> }

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

Thanks a lot!
Geraldine
