Little help with layout using css

Get Started
1

Hi i´m new in css after a few books read and done a few exercices i´m working in my first web page, i already got a layout in paper.

Well what i want is to put a header with a background image that spreads all the way horizontally in the browser window, i´m ok with that using the background image property and the repeat-x property, what i can´t figure out is how can i put a footer that does the same as the header image since i´m putting the background image in the html tag and i´m not allow to put another background image in the bottom, i´m using the body tag set to 960px width which works as my page wrapper to center the content in the window.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

You will have to use a different tag to place the background for the footer.

Usually for the header and footer you will want content in front of the background and so wrapping the header and footer content inside divs with appropriate ids and assigning the backgrounds to the ids is the usual way it is done.
