Survey form - having trouble with background

HTML-CSS
1

I was trying to design a survey form without copying too much from the example article, but one thing I did want to try and use was their background setup. I can’t figure out how to color just the outside edges of the document like they had in their example. Any help would be appreciated!

You are missing the opening form tag. You should also use actual <label> elements for your labels and not <div> elements.

Anyway, elements are transparent by default. If you give the form element, or a parent container to the form like in the example project, a background color you will get the result you are looking for.
