Re: CSS Background

You were close:
BODY { background: url(bg1.gif); color: #000000; etc. }

to put in the color as well just do this:

BODY { background: #AA0F0A url(bg1.gif) repeat fixed; etc.

pretty self explanitory, but for the background you must put
in url(name_of_graphic.xxx)

Thats it. =)

If creating external style sheets then you might want to
check out TopStyle at http://www.bradsoft.com they offer a
free lite version and a full pay for version. I've tried both
and they are both great.

I've also heard some good reviews on StyleMaster which is
completely free and the site includes tutorials on CSS both
found at http://www.westciv.com/style_master/index_dynamic.html
