Creating identical header and footer

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 18.2013

Hey there friends.

I am looking to add an identical repeat image to both the very top and bottom of the page.

I added the image to the body {} tag and also the html {} tag.

The problem is the body is set to 1000px width – so either the footer or header is limited to 1000 px width

How do I make them both stretch the entire page??

Thanks in advance

<i>
</i>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div id="content"&gt;
.
.
.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

How do I put a DIV inside of a DIV ... or can use something else like DIV and put it inside a DIV?

Success!
