Selecting the background color

Question:

Can I change the background color of the editor? I have a blue background color and the editor takes this background color, can I change the background to white? I like the fact it takes on the styles of my webpage, but I would like to have the editor with a different background then my pages. Answer:

This is not a feature in this version of the Advanced HTML Editor, however you can bypass the problem, by deleting the BODY style section from all pages, and insert the background color and topmargin and leftmargin to the <BODY> tag instead, and that did work.

Since this Behaviour is intended for DW MX 2004, then one should be aware... that it adds BODY colors etc via CSS instead of using the <BODY> tag by default.

Not an acceptable answer.

This basically makes the $$$ that we spent on your product (one of the bundles, not just the HTML Editor, but the other parts are useless without the Editor) a total waste. We have a Web design that REQUIRES an EXTERNAL CSS file that defines the BODY tag, including positioning and a fixed-scroll background image. Your workaround is inapplicable to us. The background image is such that no text can possibly be read over it (all text areas of the pages are in opaque DIVs which have their own background colors). Do you have any other solution? Any code that we can change within AdvHTMLEdit.js? We absolutely, positiviely have to do this, and now! Site is supposed to go live Monday! Suggestion for next maintenance version: a checkbox for whether you want BODY Background styles applied to the editor.
