Are you changing your background via the <body> tag or are you using CSS? Maybe you could post your URL or the code so we could figure out where the problem lies.

thanks for responding julianne
here is the code looks like it would be ok
<html>
<head>
<title>index page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#003333" text="#000000">
</body>
</html>

I wonder whether you have an odd setting in your browser because I just copied and pasted your code into DW4 - all looked OK. I then clicked to Preview in Browser (I'm using IE6) and again, all looked well.
I usually work with the split view in DW, so that I can see the code and WYSIWYG at the same time. If I go to change anything in the actual code a bar comes up which I have to click in order to refresh the WYSIWYG display. Are you doing this?
What happens if you preview in IE and press the Refresh button? I know there are options within IE that means it can either check for a new variation of the page each time you call it up or it can refer to the one in its cache.
What happens if you save your page then open it via the File-Open method directly in Internet Explorer?
Check these settings or clear your IE Temporary Files and see if this makes any difference.
Let me know if any of these ideas work.

It sounds like newtek1 merely needs to refresh the browser. The html code is perfect. When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
