Ok, i made this 'graphic' layout in photoshop (home edition) and im tryiong to set it as a background, so then i can put the menu over it and all that stuff.

The page where i uploaded the layout (which im going to use as a background is:

http://www.freewebs.com/piink-kiiss/RAINBOW.jpg

And then i used this <style>body{background: "http://freewebs.com/piink-kiiss/rainbow.jpg" fixed}--> </style> and put it between the <body> </body> tags

It didnt show up...why>? what am i doing wrong? and then i want to use this code:
<div style="width: 268; height: 127; overflow: auto; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-track-color:#538BB1; scrollbar-face-color:#275A7D; scrollbar-highlight-color:#538BB1; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#275A7D; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#0A253B; scrollbar-shadow-color:#275A7D;"><div style="padding: 5px;">

TEXT GOES HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<br></div></div></td><td width="1" height="127"></td></tr><tr><td width="270" height="1" colspan="3"></td></tr></table></div>

Never mind about the bacground thing, i found this code:
<body background= "http://freewebs.com/piink-kiiss/rainbow.jpg" fixed> </style>
and its working...but im still wondering about the textarea thing..if the code is too long feel free to email me!

Even though you've solved it, the first code should have look like this:
<style type="text/css"> body { background: url("http://freewebs.com/piink-kiiss/rainbow.jpg") fixed; } </style>
And go between the <head> and </head> tags.
The div code looks right, you should specify measurements (px) in the width and height, and you could add the padding of the second div in with the first.

If you want the background smaller you'd have to resize it in an image program, but it looks all right I guess.
