Need some coding help

**Oscar99** · 19-06-10

Right well basically i'm working on a site & i've designed something to show you what i want.

I just want this as a background & have the grey transparent area as the editable bit

Is driving me insane

**ZodiarK** · 19-06-10

these are 2 separate elements right?

have ya picture as bg
and the grey area as main content

**Rhys** · 19-06-10

Id be happy to code it for you if u sent me over the background image without the grey bit.
that would go on a seperate layer.

simple thing to do but it may need a bit of editing to the background so it fits in well. since it seems to just stop.
so yeah

PM me or just reply.

Okay here's the original image

i think he means that the guy would be the background.
and have the grey bit on top as a seperate bit.

**ZodiarK** · 19-06-10

**Rhys** · 19-06-10

The image needs to be smaller - the quality is reduced by having it that large.

You have to give him a cookie now, as disclamied in his sig.

**Rhys** · 19-06-10

yeah i just got the static image.

You can just change the image from the body {} bit in the CSS and itll be good.
if not add #000000 after the url() bit and before the ;

**Rhys** · 19-06-10

thats because it cant find the image.

i had a second image which was grey.png in the images folder.
upload that and edit the css where needed in the box{} bit.

Do u need the grey box? Looks fine to me

**Oscar99** · 19-06-10

I'll upload an image later what i plan on doing.

The grey box will act as a template where the rest of the site goes.

I'm trying to make something like this
