[SOLVED] Header widget background won't change color

I have created a custom header widget for an image and email sign up and i can't get the stupid widget background to change color.

The custom widget is called "image" FYI.

I have tried the following:
#image {
background-color:#FFFFFF !important;
}

#image .bfa_widget_area {
background-color:#FFFFFF !important;
}

#text-2{
background-color:#FFFFFF !important;
}

I have even tried doing inline CSS in the widget:
<div id="main-area" style="background-color:#FFFFFF !important;">
<div id="picture">
<img src="http://www.johnlollar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/john-lollar-home.jpg" />
</div>
<div id="email" style="height:281px;">
Stay Connected with Email Updates<br /><img style="padding:10px 0;" src="http://www.johnlollar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/stars.jpg" />
<br><br>

...
</div>
</div>

I am lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Without access to the site, can't help you.

try this to see if it will help you figure out the issue. Add the following to the CSS Insdert

HTML Code:

#image {

background-color:#FFFFFF !important;

height: 100px;

border: 5px solid red;

}

It worked! I guess I just needed to give #image a height. Thanks so much!
