Changing Background color to image

[fastdc5]

1) Looking to change my Black background (on the left/right side of page) to an image.

2) Cant seem to change my Sidebar header color. I uploaded a new title_back.gif to my DIR and it was supposed to be a gradient red flowing downward to white. Well, it's now a baby blue...? If i rename that to title_back1.gif and rename the default file back to title_back.gif, it's green...so I know im in the right DIR.

3) Would love to swap out my static header banner for a Flash file I made. In the past on a phpBB I had, I just needed to update the header file with the new name.

Much thanks

Add image in stylesheet to these tags navColumnOne & navColumnTwo.

You are trying to use title_back.gif BUT in your css it is tile_back1.gif - - tile and not title
Correct this and you will most likely be pleased

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #000000;
	background-image: url(../images/tile_back1.gif);
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #000000;
	height: 1%;
	}

Search this forum for flash as this has been covered many times

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {

background-image: url(../images/tile_back1.gif);
}

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {

background-image: url(../images/tile_back1.gif);
}

Navigating to this directly http: //www.7thgearimports.com/storefront/includes/templates/7th/images/tile_back1.gif

Produces "The requested URL /storefront/includes/templates/7th/images/tile_back1.gif was not found on this server"
Meaning that the image tile_back1.gif does not exist there

Watch your spelling for these images - not only naming the image but also when you are calling it

Where do you have this file saved? It should be in /includes/templates/7th/images/tile_back1.gif, but I can't see it there, nor anywhere else likely.

Fixed.

However, I think I dont have the Side Bars called out right as they are still that blue.

[gjh42]

I see the black image file in the right place now, but your stylesheet still has

.leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #abbbd3;
	background-image: none;
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	}

You need to call the image there:


background-image: url(../images/tile_back1.gif);

Thanks!

Any means to use transparent for sidebar and/or header/footer?
