Joseph,
Breathe, calm, focus, relax
If you are refering to the main background on either side of the store page then you need to put the image in the images folder and the add this line to your stylesheet in the body rule

background-image: url(../images/bg_stone1.jpg);}

Adjust the filename in red to your filename

Mike,
I am Breathing a little slower now...... do you mean body
{
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #e5edf5;
background-image: url(../images/backgrnd1.png);}

And I put it in my cart images folder but nothing happened...... what would happen if you had it in the wrong folder or in 2 or 3 different folders? Thanks for your help

God bless
Joseph

This is from my stylesheet. The body rule set is the first one at the top of the stylesheet

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #000000;
	background-color: #bca492;
	background-image: url(../images/bg_stone1.jpg);}

Template related images need to be in the template images directory.

If your template is YOUR_TEMPLATE, then you need an images directory inside YOUR_TEMPLATE

I see you got it to work.

Kim,
I agree with you on the location, but if I wanted use that background with multiple templates (ie. seasonal) would it not be better to put it in the main images directory so that I don't have to have multiple copies of it?

Nevermind me. I just checked the location of my background images and its in my template directory forgot about ../images is my template images directory

[barco57]

.leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	}

as you can see the header currently have an image, either replace that image or delete the background-image line and adjust the background-color to your liking
