background image question

[vanskills]

using this

Add a new class to the css with the background color

.newclass {
background: #000000;
}

then edit line 80 of the postbit template and change 'alt1' to 'alt1 newclass'

how would i also use a background image in the post with a picture i have?

i used google and all the options i got didnt work

background: url(/path/to/image.gif) no-repeat top left;

Make sure the image is uploaded to the correct place. The way you reference it would look for it at

http://thewarcave.com/forums/images/dark_vb/basic.gif

which doesn't exist.

I had that pic as a jpeg and upload to basic.jpg and wouldnt show up...worked once i changed it to basic.gif and changed the path to point at .gif
