    After noon all. I have been working with the videos designing in photoshop and then writing the code to display it. I have my header image and buttons working however I can’t get my main content to drop below the menu. It’s aligning it to the top and when I insert my repeating image for the main content it goes on top of my menu. I’ll put my code below and you can have a look at http://www.barksandbones.com/dev2/bark.php. Thanks in advance.

    I actually spoke too soon, the page wrap was not set to the correct width which was throwing off the text. However when I put in my repeating image its for the main content background its not aligning at all and is actually jumping on top of my menu…. any ideas?

    Thanks
    Tim

    Thanks Chris! That fixed it. It looks great in Safari and Firefox, however IE puts my content repeating image on top of my sprite menu… Any ideas? By the way, great tutorials I have really learned a lot from them and your site. Great work and keep it up!
