line background?

[AndyXL]

Is there anything for line background colour, or with a font background setting the background width?
I want to simulate having text in a cell with a background, using CSS

[vgarcia]

.backgroundText {
background:url('image.jpg');
font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:1em;
color: #000;
}

...further down the page

<span class="backgroundText">My text here</span>

This will give you a span of text with a background image behind it. I'm not sure if that's what you want but that's what it seems like from your question.

I actually wanted a colour behind the text, so would this work?

.backgroundText {
background:color('#0000CC');
font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:1em;
color: #000;
}

...further down the page

<span class="backgroundText">My text here</span>

Thanks
