@decibelauthorFeb 09.2006 — ya man, i already knew that, which is what i had to do, however this solution poses 2 problems... i just increased the image size, which is bad for loading, and CSS SHOULD be able to handle this...

@mrmazurFeb 09.2006 — Give this a shot, it should work:

[CODE]
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(image.gif);
}

#topPad {
padding: 5px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

#mainContent {
color: #FFFFFF
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="topPad">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="mainContent">
Content Here
</div>
</body>
</html>
[/CODE]

A 20px solid color strip should add almost zero to the image size. How big were the two images?

It will but you have to do it with the [B]background[/B], not its container.

Success!
