Help, I am sooo lost. It appears that my background image is overlapping or something of the sort. Could someone review the CSS as well as one of my pages (www11.brinkster.com/martid. I am new to forums so please bear with me as to what I can ask for help. Attached is the CSS in mind. Your input is greatly appreated. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I've just taken a look at the site and I think the problem is not CSS but the background image itself. If you look at it:
http://www11.brinkster.com/martid/dbackground.gif
I think you'll see that it both starts and ends with a grey bar. This means you're getting a double bar where the image repeats. A slight image edit should fix this.

Yes, you were right Dave. I trimmed both the top and bottom of the .gif and it solved this feeling of overlapment. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day.
