The html editor being used on the site is Ftb3HtmlEditorProvider and the site is 4.3.6.  I have a background image on the body of the site.  When I try and edit any text that shows up in the html editor design view, the background image is showing through the design view and it is very difficult to see what you are typing.

Excerpts from the style sheet:

Body{
    background-color: #006600;
    background-image: url(backpattern2.gif);

.contentpane {
 width: 100%;
 background-color: #99cc99;

What can I do to get the background of the html editor to be a solid color like white?

Thanks for any help.

Timo -

I've been having this same issue as well (and been quite vocal about it, as I'm stunned this hasn't been fixed yet and it's been known for months now)... I've finally had to resort to using FCK / CuteEdit on my sites.

I've tried the CSS fix, but the problem I run into is that I use the body tag to define the background of my pages, and when I throw in #body, it simply overrides the background settings for the previous. I've tried setting up another div for the page background, but it usually doesn't fill the page completely. Are there any other fixes that have been successfully implemented?

What do you mean exactly with "I use the body tag to define the background of my pages".
I would put everything in the #body selector unless it should be picked up by the editor too...
Or is that not the answere? If not post alink to an example please....
