clear text box

[Richard]

I can't seem to find how to make a clear text box that matches the background
without any borders or shading. Thanks in Advance!!

Something like this

BUT with no borders and the background the same color as the page??

You can use the <div class="messagebox"> tag and [ut the style rules in your
external style sheet

..messagebox {
border: #2C5629 2px solid;
margin: 15px 3px 3px 3px;
padding: 5px;
background: #CCCC99;
color: #000000;
font-size: .9em;
}

take out the border and use the background color you want or background
transparent will pick up your page background.
