I'm attempting a two column layout for a simple set of web pages: menu on the left, with an image background beneath the menu. The only way I could get the image to display was by putting it in the "#wrapper". If I tried to add background-image: to the column definition, "#left", it did not display.
Now, when I try to position text in the left column, using a <div>, the text section starts a new image, just for it's defined depth, overwriting the background image. I want it to position it accurately and float it transparently over the image. I'd really like to do this with CSS, and not revert to a table layout and a bunch of <br>'s. Is there a tutorial or example that could be recommended? (I'm much more of a plumber, working with back-end scripts, not so much design.) Do you want the work in progress posted so it can be examined? ( I'm used to my own debugging, but this CSS stuff I find pretty bewildering.)
