using classic template - adding a jpg file

hello - i'm new to zencart, and so far have been very impressed with the features of the product.

im using the default template scheme.

I'd like to know how i can display a .jpg file in the middle of the screen
i think its part of the index.php but not sure where to put it

I have the Welcome Guest, click to login and id like ot have the graphi displayed below it.

can someone tell me how to do this?

thanks,
ed

Try adding this to your stylesheet.css file:

#indexDefaultMainContent{
background-image: url(path-to-your-image.jpg);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

Anything else you have in that container will seem to float on top of the graphic.

This is example of putting a background in a div. Not quite what you are doing but simmilar:
