    Hey, im new here, and I just got one question:

    In this profile I got, it says i can add some CSS to it, wich I want a picture in, so its behind my profile, like a ..Screensaver. Just like in Myspace or youtube-profiles.

    The exact picture i want behind my profile is:
    http://www.davingreenwell.com/archive/skull.jpg

    So can anybody help me?

    It should look like this:

    http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=tehparol

    But just as an CSS-code.

    I will appreciate for your effort,

    Best Regards,
    Lyric.

    I wouldn't use that as a background. If there's text on top it would be hard to read, and it'll be just like all the other shitty myspace pages that are hard to read because people keep putting images that aren't supposed to be backgrounds... as backgrounds and it looks like dogshit.

    As far as using a fixed-background image is concerned that might be the right option for you. But i don't know what does transparent mean??

    Did you take a careful look at the CSS? He has no-repeat as a value for background-image, which I think would invalidate the property and make the background not show up. Even if there is no width and height set then it will at least expand to whatever is inside the element if anything at all..

    That helped, thank you.
    But it didnt cover up the whole profile..
    Do you think you could help me further?

    This code effects the entire profile / background (probably*):

    "<head>
    <style type="text/css">
    p {
    color: sienna;
    margin-left: 20px
    }
    </style>
    </head>"

    It would be awesome to have this kinda profile:
    www.fbh.arto.dk

    Could anyone maybe figure out the text he has?
