By either side of the main area, do you mean the white space outside of your site?

hi
yes this is what i mean
thanks

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

That is set by adding a background image to the BODY class in skin1.css. The format for the css is:

background: url(images/image.jpg);

You would need to upload the image to your skin1 directory.

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

ok so then should it be
background: url(skin1/images/image.jpg);
since it is in th eskin1 folder

i tried a bunch of ways im not sure i understand
here is my BODY line from css
HTML,BODY { margin: 0px 7px 0px 7px; background: #fff; }

can you show me exactly how it should be written out with the image in the skin1/images folder

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

I did show you exactly...you don't need the skin1 because the css file you are adding to is already in teh skin1 folder. Type this exactly in your skin1.css file:

BODY {background: url(images/image.jpg);}

Replace image.jpg with the name of your file.

I attempted to follow the instructions and got a white background both inside and outside of my site.

HTML,BODY {
HEIGHT: 100%;
MARGIN: 0px;
PADDING: 0px;
Background-color: #FFFBD3;}

The last line was replaced with
background: url(images/camo.jpg);
Any idea what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

HTML doesn't accept a background image class, so you would need to break out the BODY to its own class.

Thanks balinor, I figured it out... I jumped the gun and asked the question to fast.

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

when i try this i get the image tiling through the products area, i just want it on the left and right of the page

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

can anyone explain how to stop the background image from tiling through the main area?

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

background-repeat: no-repeat;

That just keeps the image to one image though, you can't get it to appear on the left and the right of your content area unless you create one huge image.

Re: want to insert image but dont know where
 

Set the container for the main area to white or whatever background color you want...

my site looks like this:
