Multiple background images?

[jagall]

Hi cannot seem to figure this entirely out. Using 1.3.9 and want to have a header background image running across the site from the top at 100% width, and also at the footer of the site a similar image while the main (middle) background holds another image which is repeated. I have searched long for a solution to this, and have got some info but still not sure how to go about it. Can anyone help on the best way to do this.

That's done in the stylesheet. Can't be more specific without more information on your site.

Try looking at the tutorials for stylesheet.

thanks for getting back to me.

here is a link to my website and the css looks like this;

body {
margin: 0 15px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 70%;
color: #000000;
background:url(../images/header_bg.gif) repeat-x, url(../images/background.gif) repeat;
}

/*}

#topshadow {
height: 62px
width:1030px;
margin: -62px
background-image: url(images/header_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

#pageborders {
width:100%x;
min-height:100%;
margin:auto;
background:url(images/background.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
}

#bottomshadow {
margin:0px;
height:66px;
width:1030px;
background:url(images/header_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}*/


although this works somewhat in firefox not so in IE. I was starting to include some code in the body to get around this another way but not sure if I am on the right track. I know many websites have this look so may be I am doing something really silly as I don't seem to be able to achieve it. Hope you can help.

Hi really struggling with this, I understand that I need to bring different elements into css but not sure how that is applied.

Quite the contrary.

Aren't statistics great? These you point to are for people accessing w3c.schools. That's like saying the number of accidents involving senior citizens has tripled in the last 10 years. But, the number of seniors has quintupled with the baby boomers, so statistics lie again.

From the website you quoted

Statistics are important information. W3Schools.com is for people with an interest for web technologies. This fact indicates that the figures below might not be 100% true for the average internet users. The average internet-user might have a lower screen resolution.

MIGHT?
I'm gonna need more proof before I plan for more than 1024 x 768.
Most of us are still using the 960 Grid System.
