I have tried using a background image for the body, I have tried having another div with a higher z-index value but cant seem to get the image to appear unless there is some text in the div. The closest I got was to to have a background positioned to the left of my right hand div with a negative margin but the left hand div masks half the image.

Any help appreciated. ]]> 10/01/04, 275 35 2004 2004:%i:1096616131 03:35:31 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/background_image_issue/#p1359 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/background_image_issue/#p1360
Can you not have a third central div for the image either between or on top of the other two divs?

You could also split the image vertically and put half in the left div and half in the right div set to repeat y and appropriately positioned - but the div would have to be a predictable width for you to set the x position.]]> 10/01/04, 275 18 2004 2004:%i:1096622328 05:18:48 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/background_image_issue/#p1360 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/background_image_issue/#p1361
I've got it working now with a third central div in front of the other 2 divs. I set the third div to have a width of 15px (the width of the image) and a height of 100% so that it covers the length of the entire page.

Thanks for the help.]]> 10/01/04, 275 23 2004 2004:%i:1096626211 06:23:31 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/background_image_issue/#p1361
