    Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out how to create different sections on a page with different background colors and images for different sections. I guess I can change the background color by utilizing content boxes but how do I make the cover the full page? I was also wondering how I add images for the background instead of a color? Any help and guidance would be much appreciated, I have been stuck on this for a while now:(

    This is the code I am using,

    .content-box-yellow {
        margin: 0 0 25px;
        overflow: hidden;
        padding: 20px;
    }
    .content-box-yellow {
        background-color: #fef5c4;
        border: 1px solid #fadf98;
    }

    Does anyone know how to replace the background color for the content box with an image instead?

    Cheers,

    Brooke

    I believe that you could just change "background-color" to "background-image: url("image.jpg");" and of course add the path to the image 🙂
