[WSG] Short way to change background colors on CSS sheet?

[Lyn Patterson]

Hi all
Am now working on a template for all pages of my site other than the 
main page.

I want to change the background color of the #container on various 
pages.  So far, I have come up with

#container
{
margin: 0;
background-color: #e0ffff;
background-image: url(xxx.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
#container2
{
margin: 0;
background-color: #fdffde;
background-image: url(xxx.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
and so on.  I will then specify which particular container in the 
mark-up.This will make for a rather lengthy stylesheet so was wondering 
if there is an abbreviated way of doing this.

Samples can be seen at www.mwg.green.net.au/testpages/meetings.html and 
www.mwg.green.net.au/testpages/events.html

CSS is at www.mwg.green.net.au/testpages/therest.css
Thanks
Lyn
