Hi

First of, I have tried to search but since I do not actually know what to search for its kind of hard. I'm sorry if the answer to my question is easily found by searching.

So, on to my questions.

How do I create a "flowing" background like the one that can be found at this page?:
http://www.safarista.com/index.html
If one shrinks the window the background moves to the left so that the art in the background stays in place, relative to the rest of the page. Any tip is appreciated.

The second question is: If i have a horizontal menu on top consisting of a div and want a image/art to hover in front of the menu and stretch vertically over, in front and below the menu. An example could be a person standing in front of a horizontal menu.

Hope I make some kind of sense. Smile

Thanks in advance.

//Peter

Not sure I understand the question, but here is the code he is using for the background.

body {
   background-color:#3C1606;
   background-image:url("images/safaristabg_02.jpg");
   background-position:center top;
   background-repeat:no-repeat;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
}

Ive done something like that here. with the menu. This technique uses sprite navigation. You could also play around with absolute positioning, and or, z-index.

Not sure I understand the question,

I think he means that the bg-image moves when the window is resized. You're quite right, the "background-position: center top;" controls how it moves.
