Box: margin:0 0 4px 0;padding:0;width:240px;background:#FFCC00 url(infobox_b240.gif) no-repeat bottom left;

Title: margin:0 0 2px;padding:2px 0 0 6px;border-bottom:2px solid #fff;color:#000000;text-align:left;font-size:100%;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:bold;background:#66ff33 url(infobox_t240.gif) no-repeat top left;

Body: margin:0;padding:0 8px 6px 8px;text-align:left;font-size:80%;line-height:1.2em;color:#000000;text-align:justify;
