html {
background: #9c9c9c url(../images/bg-bottom.jpg) center top;
}
body {
border-top:2px solid #fecd2a;
background:#9c9c9c url(../images/bg.jpg) repeat-x center bottom;
}
I need bg.jpg which is the large background with the black gradiantat the top, to be at the top and for the bg-bottom.jpg to be repeated at the bottom. How come this doesn't work, is there and easier way? Apart from creating one long image.
Your CSS on the body should be
background: url("../images/bg.jpg") repeat-x scroll #9C9C9C;
I don't think adding a background to your HTML tag is going to get you anywhere. If I were you I would just make one super long, narrow-width image that will not possibly be exceeded by the length of your page. You can't have multiple BGs without using CSS3, which I personally wouldn't recommend.
Looks like you need to switch around your positioning and use a transparent background for the body tag:
html {
background: #9c9c9c url(../images/bg-bottom.jpg) center bottom
}
body {
border-top:2px solid #fecd2a;
background: transparent url(../images/bg.jpg) repeat-x center top;
}
