I'm designing new site and I'd like to put there 2 image backgrounds. It should look like that:

Is it possible in CSS?

Yes, it's possible. You could put the patterned background in as a background for the body, then put the stripe in as a background on a "container" div, with the stripe set to repeat ONLY horizontally.

I have a problem with defining the right code. Could you help me a little bit?

that is possible using css code follow following step :-
1) create css class like
.g{
background:url(../images/image.jpeg);
}
2)
create table using table tag
<table>
<tr>
<td class="g"> <img src="../images/gh.jpeg">
</td>
</tr>
</table>

this code will create two image at a time

NO TABLES !!!! Totally UNNECESSARY and definitely NOT modern web design

Adrian, you would need something like this:

HTML
<body>
<div id="container">
your header and the rest of your content, footer, etc. inside the container
</div>
</body>

CSS would be like this:

body{background: url(littleboxes.gif);}
#container{background url(bgstripe.gif) repeat-x;}

It's that easy.

try adding this to your CSS document:

Code:

 table {display: none !important;}

and see if your document holds up...

Thank you very much. I've found another way, more dificult. I've just put one layer (div) with z-index: 1 and I've defined its lenght and hight, after all I've just set the site background as stripes_bg.gif it also works.

Why on earth would you choose to do something the HARD way, especially when I gave you an EASY solution ?? If you start using absolute positioning on everything you're GOING to have problems.

The Lady is right, her idea is easy, and keeps the code leaner than a table. On the other hand, I also like tables... I set my drinks down on a table... my dinner... my tv remote...

Wow, thanks.

I've actually been trying to figure out how to do this, lol. I've been doing it the hard way.. ^o^ Very useful, LadynRed
