Thanks for the link. I tried it, but my header image is showing up behind my text area (container). Im using a DW template 1 column fixed width with header and footer. Can you point out what may be wrong with my coding so far?
I also noticed theres a double scroll bar on right side of browser window. ???
Appreciate your help and patience as Im just starting to get a handle on css.
