Templates, Backgrounds, & CSS

[steve19]

The way you show to use templates is to insert them as images, but they should really be a backgroind image. When I insert them as a background image I get a repeating image. How do I work around this?

How do I set the bacground color for an area like a header area? Usually this is done with a DIV tage in CSS, but I can't find anything corresponding to it on the editor.

Why do you generate inline CSS? the whole point of CSS.

Thanks

Re: Templates, Backgrounds, & CSS

to get a background image to a text is use the shape tool, make your shape and then type in the text ontop of the shape. as for the back ground being an image you make the image the size you wish, import it and then layer ontop of the image. if you have an image that is generic you can use the image tool in formatting. for example:
www.coastalanimalrescue.org - the blue background is 300 x 300
www.craftsanddreams.com - the background is 100 x 100
hope this helps.
