how do I add a background image behind page container?

This simple question could easily open a whole can of worms. :-)

Really depends on what skin you are using, and what you want the background image to do (repeat, stretch, center, etc.).

Lets say you are using ideal_comfort, and you want a repeating background image.

This code also sets the background color.

I made you a quick playground where you can experiment: http://jsfiddle.net/JE3E8/1/

I found the answer on another post but people were saying you cant do background image in html,body{} and that you would have to split the 2 or something like that, so thats why i still posted to see if there would be an easier answer, i did it in about 20 seconds with your response. it was so easy i should of just tried it. I work on a live site so sometimes i am worried of screwing things up especially because of my limited css knowledge. Getting more comfortable using and tweaking css with the help of firebug.

Thank you so much, I didnt do the background image but i did do backgroud color instead to keep page download time small, i also had to change page container in the middle to white. Looks great. I can't believe all the help i am getting on this forum from a few gurus out there.

Oh btw Totaltec, i ordered my barcode scanner today ;-) Hope your mod isnt going to cost a fortune, i checked out the one from bcs but even though the options are nice the look and feel isnt. waiting on yours to see what it is going to look like.
