... I was wondering if an image would stretch as a background image in the
stylesheet as a background. That's all.
Ingo did a demo as a background image of a h1 tag. I thought that would
work.
Using the EXACT same code that he used, in the stylesheet for the banner
it does not work. I have no idea why not.
Because my image is 2048px wide.
You can't stretch bg-images in CSS. It's not that we didn't understand
what you want to accomplish, but it's just not possible. We are trying
to find a workaround, not a solution.
Follow Vicki's attempt and put a gradient on both sides of the bg-image,
than position it 50% 100% in the horizontal mid.
Or put the gradient just to the right, as Roger does:

There is a maroon gradient to the right, and the container has the same
background-color. Check in Firefox with cntr++, and view the bg-image.
