If someone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciated. I've spend the past 5 hours and can't seems to get it right.

On my About Us page, I have my navigation on the left. I would like to make the background of that column a different color (#CCFF99).

Thank you in advance!

You're missing the <td>.

Please show us the rest of the code.

Okay. I omitted the story section. I didn't want to bore you guys to death!
But this is the rest, on a different php.

Thanks!

I think you want to change
<!-- Navigation // -->
<td width="120">
to
<!-- Navigation -->
<td width="120" style="background-color:#CCFF99;">
