}

#bg {
  position: fixed;
  margin: 0px;
  border: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  overflow: hidden;
  z-index: 0;
}

#bg img {
  width: 100%;
}
</style>


<div id="bg"><img src="

I put in my hompage a flash menu and a fixed background so it fits to screen perfectly. The problem is im trying to put some text under the flash menu saying "can't see our flash menu click here" and then link to another index that isnt flash based. The text will not show up and I cant figure out why PLEASE HELP

I recommend that you start by fixing the markup errors reported by our online validator:

I see the text in IE6. In other browsers I tried i just see the background image (soldiers), no menu, no nothing. Looks like you have positioned the image on top of everything else. I don't understand why you want such a large image to be 'position: fixed', more than to hide your host's ads of course... Couldn't you use a fixed background instead?

If you want the other stuff under the image, you need to give it margins so it goes free from it. If you want it on top of the image you need to somehow position it there (CSS positioning, negative margins...).

Hmm. I doubt this will work in all browsers.

HTML

<div id="bg"><img src="yourimage.jpg" width="100%" height="100%" alt=""></div>
<div id="content"><p>Enter a ton of text or whatever here.</p></div>
