I've been playing around with a few menu design ideas, and mocked up a site to try them out. The
menus are OK as far as they go, but I'm having trouble with a background image.
I have been trying to set up a background image in the body (or in body class='plain'), but
when I do so it appears
Hi - I think you have to give it a position and include a z-index
instruction to tell it to put the image at the back, eg
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: 50% 60px;
margin: 30px 0px 0px 0px;
z-index: 1;
}

conventions):
Thanks Chris, and others.
I'd agree about the 'wrapper'. It just happens I was rather throwing a page together for my menu
tests, and slipped the background image onto the body. I've moved it now (in my local version
only) to my 'wrapper', which is div#outer, and that works too, and looks much

I believe that's because backgrounds on body propagate to the viewport -
that's the root (html) element. Unless, that is, you have a background
