Im trying to have 4 small tiled images displayed for background. Top left would be red, top right yellow, lower left, black, and lower right gray. I tried making a css file with divs to see if the top two would work out, but its not. Can anyone look at this code and let me know what I did wrong or how to make this work? Thanks.

Try something like this...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<link rel="stylesheet" title="Disabled for Preview-in-Browser: styles.css" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
 
#myDivWithBackgroundTopLeft {
	background: transparent url(back-red.jpg) no-repeat left top;
}
#myDivWithBackgroundTopLeft p {
	float: left;
}
#myDivWithBackgroundTopRight {
	background: transparent url(back-grey.jpg) no-repeat right top;
}
#myDivWithBackgroundTopRight p {
