I am working on putting together a site in Dreamweaver, and I am slowly playing with the styles so I can get the content how I want it before I turn it into a template. Here you can see what I have so far: [Sniperguild.com](http://test.sniperguild.com/SNGUILD/)

You can view the source and see all the DIV layers. My question is, I am going to have a set width for everything inside the page div, and have a background texture for the entire page. But inside the page div, I want the background to be a solid color. I tried setting the background color of the page div to the color I wanted, but it doesnt show through the other div layers, like the nav and the content. How can I make it so, unless I specify in the other layers not to use that background color, I see that color through all of the div layers?
