 I would like to know how I can have two background images that repeat  
 across the browser and still keep all my content in the 980px wide  
 container. 

 I see this style being used all over the place (web 2.0) but I can't  
 figure out how. 
   



Point to one of them.




 P.S. If anyone knows where the padding at the top of my #navcontainer  
 is coming from then that would be a great help.

[css-d] web 2.0 style, 100% browser width backgrounds for header and footer

2009-09-18 Thread Chris Blake
Hi,

http://www.redrunner.co.uk/rr/?q=content/home-page#

The design I am trying to recreate can be seen here: 
http://www.redrunner.co.uk/rr/themes/framework/img/RedRunner.jpg

I would like to know how I can have two background images that repeat  
across the browser and still keep all my content in the 980px wide  
container. I have set a b.g. for the body, this is for the header  
section. I want to do the same for the footer, but the footer lives  
inside the container which isn't 100% width. The pages are also going  
to vary in size so having the header and footer background in 1 image  
won't work.

Ideas that I have had are:

1. place the footer outside of the container and then make an inner  
div for the content of the footer with the same margin and width as  
the container (container 2).
(I found a link demonstrating this http://cssgirl.com/examples/full-width.html 
  )
2. place a 'footer background image' div outside of the container,  
give it absolute positioning and a lower z-index. Problem was that it  
stuck to the bottom of the browser even if there was scroll.
3. Give #html a background image too.
4. ?

I see this style being used all over the place (web 2.0) but I can't  
figure out how. Please help.


Here's the bare-bones of a web page, feel free to insert any divs and  
css that may get this working.


body style=background: url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-x top centre;

container style=width: 950px margin: 0px auto

headerblurb/header

contentBLURB/content

footercopyright 2009/footer

/container

/body

Thanks, CB

P.S. If anyone knows where the padding at the top of my #navcontainer  
is coming from then that would be a great help. I am using firebug now  
but when I make changes to likely culprits the problem still remains.
