For some reason my background is cutting off part of my blog and the things on the side. This is what it's supposed to look like http://cbimg6.com/layouts/08/02/24/25766b.jpg. Please help me fix the layout code. Thanks! Sorry if I put this in the wrong place btw >< I'm not familiar with this site.

Umm if you compare my xanga to the picture I posted in the original post, you might notice that on the side where it says "about me" and "miscellaneous," the box is cut off about two-thirds, according to where the background picture stops. I circled the areas where it's being cut off by the background and the black line is where it's cutting off: http://i41.tinypic.com/2dt6is1.jpg The background of those areas should be a #ebe5b9 (a pale yellow?) with a picture header(?). I apologize if I'm not making any sense.

I don't see that. What browser(s) display(s) it that way?

I'm currently using firefox. Hmm interesting. I just now looked at it using Internet Explorer and it actually looks fine. I'm not sure what the problem is then.

Oh! Thanks Darin McGrew. That explains a lot especially since the layout was probably made for the old internet explorer. Umm ..I'm not sure how to fix layout code though. I'm horrible with html.

There are too many errors. Many color values lack a hash sign in front of them. There is no 'background-repeat: none' (it's 'background-repeat: no-repeat') and so on and so on...

But the main problem is that your background isn't a background. It's an inline image with an image map and you have tried to position it behind the rest of the page.

HTML
<div align=left><div style="position:static; margin-left:-10px; margin-top: -100px; z-index:-1; ">
<img src="http://cbimg6.com/layouts/08/02/24/25766aa.jpg" border="0"

USEMAP="#background"><MAP NAME="background">


Only positioned elements can have a z-index and 'position: static' is the default, i.e. not positioned. If you change that to 'position: relative' it will fix your problem in FF, but I don't know if it will work in other browsers. Gecko treats a negative value for z-index different than other browsers, or it used to. Haven't kept up with that. There are just too many errors for me to want to go deeper.

God knows what makes it work in some browsers as it is.
