CSS background color for text

[roland]

Hi

I got a problem with some css settings. In the block headers I got a background pic. So for the block titles I need a background color to make them readable.

here is my css settings

div.block h4 {
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.2em;
padding-left:0.5em;
border-bottom:0px solid #595A5E;
padding-top:2px;
line-height:1.3em;
color: black;
background-color: white;
height: 19px;
background: transparent url('../img/block_header.gif') no-repeat top left;
}
div.block h4 a { color: #374853;
background-color: white;
}


It works well for all block with a linked title but doesnt work for the rest. Guess somehow the background color is under the background pic.

Any simple solutions for that?

thanks
