Re: Why is there a gray background?

It would have displayed the same in Firefox and IE, if you didn't have errors in your "table" structure. Your flash header is set in the "table" correctly, but the "form" is not. If you fix the "table" structure, so that the "form" is confined correctly, then the gray sidebars show in both browsers.

Once you do that, it's a simple matter to track down the problem. You are telling the "form", in your style sheet (style.css), to have a gray background. There is a "table" embedded in the "form" that has a white background, but that doesn't change the overall background.

Below is a style from your "style.css" file.

Code:
form {
background-color: <span style="font-weight:bold;">#CCCCCC</span>;
}


The correct thing to do is fix the "table" structure, and then fix the style setting. But you can get away by just changing the style in your "style.css" file to the following.

Code:
form {
background-color: <span style="font-weight:bold;">#ffffff</span>;
}
