background and menu issue

Post by Xcellers »

Hola guys

i got a bit of a issue with the template im currently modifying for my site (im using the "flowered" template)
however, my left background image is a bit messed up in the lower corner, its just white (you can check it out at www.xcellers.dk)

also i seem to have problem with my menu not following the rest of the graphics when i resize the browser window or change the resolution - im not sure how to make it do that.

any pointers would be greatly appriciated :)


here´s a copy of my  CSS sheet:
html {
background-image: url(uploads/images/templates/flowered/right_side.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top right;
}

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
background-image: url(uploads/images/templates/flowered/left_side.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
color: #000000;
}
#container {
width: 800px;
display: inline;
}
#main-title {
margin-bottom: 0;

Re: background and menu issue

Post by KO »

1. add to html {height:100%}

2. You seem to add margins with wrappers for everything else than to your menu. Make/add similar wrapper to you menu with margin:0px 110px; as you have done it for top header, main text etc. Then change your #menuwrapper width to 100%.

Hope this helps,

K
