If deleting the stylesheet doesn’t make any difference, the obviously something is going wrong

You need to fix this first, then you can come back to the background issue, it’s clear that no rules will apply if the whole stylesheet is not in action

First thing to check is, if the css file is linked correctly in file catalog/includes/template_top.php

It may be down to the code im currently using for the header, i just dont know. Here is the code i currently have: body { background: #ffff00 url(images/header_bg.jpg)fixed repeat ; color: #000; margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; } #bodyWrapper { } #bodyContent { background:#CFECEC } #header { /*height: 150px;*/ bckground-image: url(images/my_header_image.png); background-color:#243480; /* For WebKit (Safari, Google Chrome etc) */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(#FFF), to(#402112)); /* For Mozilla/Gecko (Firefox etc) */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(left top, #FFF, ##402112); Thanks again Exellent tutorial, but i have one issue which is that the background image im using shows up between the body content and wrapper, whereas in yours it doesnt, would you have any idea why?

It seems to be masked or covering the true background. No matter how many times I tweak the background and try to upload an image using: background: #ffff00 url(images/your_image.jpg); It remains white. I have been struggling with this all day. Is it possible to change the background of a jquery theme? I have an image background that I am trying to use. I have tried jpg and gif extentions.

Or did you modify the existing one? Well, anyway, it's hard to say anything without seeing your site, could you post or email your url? @charley

Since the time I had this issue and had to use that that I found (posted above) I spent a lot of time cleaning my site of errors via the W3C html validator. There were many, many errors caused by coding from the add ons I have installed through the years. End tag errors, table errors, and errors and so on. After the cleaning up, I went back and removed that css coding I found, (I'd paste it here but the code didn't paste well last I checked). Bottom line is the html clean up did the trick and the clear floats code you posted here and on the osCommerce site works fine For me it was a good lesson on how important correct coding is. Anyway FYI on all that and thanks. George, a follow up to an issue we discussed here some while ago.

Just one question that follows from your reply, why is it that in one browser a page loses elements (apparently from lack of space) and becomes distorted whereas the same page viewed on another browser the page appears normal with all elements in place. How can this problem be overcome? Hello,
