    Hello,

    I am new at web design and I don't use css but html only. I use dw and been playing with composer. I'm on a deadline to get a page complete by tomorrow and I'm stuck.

    1 - I have added the header background as an image

    2 - I have two sides to the footer background that I need to add as background image also

    3 - I would just put the footer background on both sides of the footer but when I stretch table to 1024 a scroll bar and white space appears.

    4 - For the same reason above is why i can't just make a table have the background of left and right.

    Is there a way to give one page 3 backgrounds?

    Thanks!

    You set background images using CSS.

    Post your markup, explain exactly what you want to do, and someone might be able to help.

    I would be happy to take a look at it for you if you could send me login information. I would charge you 20 U.S. dollars, but only if I fix the problem. Let me know.

    I think you can add background image using the background-image property of the corresponding html element as specified in the css code. If you have a test page URL to post it will be easier to spot problems than to imagine problems.

    If its a <body> background you can just say <body background="http://imageurl.com/image.jpg"> if its not you can do this

    background-image: url(http://imageurl.com/image.jpg);

    the background-image has to be within the style tag. so example

    <div class="header" style="background-image: url(http://www.imageurl.com/image.jpg);">
    Text and stuff goes here
    </div>
