I want to position a background image, or an image I can put textareas over it.

<div style="position:absolute; left:60px; top:370px; width:1024px; height:1068px;
background-color:#BLAA; overflow:auto">

-pokes bold- does that have to be changed?

Not surprisingly, the background-color property has little to do with background images, so you don't have to worry about it. You will at least need the background-image (http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-image.asp) and background-position (http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-position.asp) properties. You can also lump values for all three under the shortcut property, background (http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background.asp).
