Not sure what you mean by show 100%... You could always use : width:100% in your css, if that's what your looking for but I dont think sor. And for a background image you can use : background-image:url(yourimage.jpg);

Look it up on www.w3schools.com, there are a lot of properties for a background image such as y-position, x-position, repeat-x, repeat-y, no-repeat and others I believe

The reason http://suzannescotthansen.com/images/main_bg_bot.gif doesn't show is because div#body_container has no padding specified, div#body_container_b has no margin specified, and thus the background for div#body_container_b covers the background for div#body_container (except for a small area where the default padding/margin allow part of the background of div#body_container to be seen).

But IMHO, http://suzannescotthansen.com/images/main_bg_bot.gif should not be a background image at all. If you're going to use images of text, then use inline images where you can provide the text in the alt attribute.

You're still using images of text as background images. If you're going to use images of text, then use inline images so you can specify the text as the alt attribute: <img src=... alt=...>

And div#body_container still has no padding, and div#body_container_b still has no margin, so the background image isn't going to show.
