<p>Hi All, </p>
<p>I was just wondering if it is possible to create a background for a string element, for example I have used the full screen for my data but still want to show the valid time and date for the data. Is it possible to create a white background for a string? Image attached show the string in the top left.....</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
