CSS background image and margind
Hi All,
I am getting there with all the help ypu guys have been giving me. I have a css layout for my site that is just about perfect except for two things. First I would like to add a backgrounfg image that does not scroll when i scroll the text. In my previous version of the site I used tables to layout the structure and had a background image that was just what i wanted, again thanks to the help I got here. But the same method doesn't work when I use css for the lay out/ The image appears on top ot the text and block most of the site. If you remove the
<img id="background" title="Sunrise" style="left: 1px; top: 3px;" alt="" src="sunrise.jpg">
line of code you can see the rest of the site fine. Obviously I beed to add the Ibackground image to the css code but I don't know how or where to put it.
The second problem is the spacing between the top of the screen and the Title. It is just about twice what I would like as if the spacing between the title "<div id="container"> </div?>" and the following text.
Sure will appreciate some answers.

Hey Guys,
You got the image in the background but it is too tall for the display. I can only see the top part of it and the bottom part is off screen. Is there any way to force it to resize the image so it fiots the screen as it did in the old way with tables?
