hot new top

Could you link a repl or add a little detail? Are you trying to make text colored, or the background? What elements are you using for it?

@maazzubair99 im talking about making a text box filled white

@LittleNomster you will have to put the text inside a <div></div> tag. So something like this:

<div id='randomDivId'>
   <p>Text</p>
</div>

And then in your css, you could do:

#randomDivId {
    background-color: white;
}

to make the background white

@maazzubair99 k ima go try it thanks

@LittleNomster no problem. if it doesn't work let me know.

@maazzubair99 it worked thanks i wish i could mark two people

@LittleNomster marking two people would be great
you could also change the id to whatever you like, it doesnt have to be randomDivId. Just remember to change the css too

@maazzubair99 kk <3

If you are trying to change the color of the text, use:
<font color="insert_color">This is some text!</font>

However, if you are trying anything more, I suggest using a CSS file.

@KeaganLandfried im new and dont think its possible to make a colored text box in css

@KeaganLandfried <font> is deprecated and should never be used. Use CSS (style attr if you want it inline) instead.
