Would an additional CSS entry need to be made in order to just try different variations of BG’s I want to use for the top header section of the next template? So for example, a bg-image would span the entire top or a bg image would just span where the map logo is and extend out to and behind the end of the search bar. Let me know if any more information is needed.

Can you provide a mock-up screenshot of what it is you are wanting to accomplish?

Please see the attached image. I see that in the CSS, I can change the background colors for both 1 and 2 to be different. However, I’m trying to see if I can just have a background image that takes up everything in 1 and 2, so one master background image.

Are you wanting one uniform COLOR, or some kind of continuous image you are hoping to use?

I would like to try both variations, only because I need to experiment with what scheme will work the best and customize the rest of the site that way. I think with the color option, I can just replace both sections with the same color, but it’s mainly one continuous background image that I want to experiment with. I PMed you an example of what I mean. Another example of a header background image would be the JA Business template. I would include the link but I am getting a “hacked by” message on the link leading to that page with your site 😐

Hi,
I figured out how to do this. My only question now is how I can get a background image that’s in that top header area to extend out behind the content section too.

I was able to achieve a single image for the whole header, but basically I want the single image that would be used as a background to extend down to the content area too. I PMed you an example of what I mean, with link to the actual image itself.

Go to this File: /templates/ja_nex_t3/css/themes/green/template.css

Replace this code

body{background-color:#eeecolor:#666;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:20px;margin:0;}

With

body{background:url(“../../../images/bg-.jpg”) repeat-x #eee color:#666;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:20px;margin:0;}
