Background image and sidebar.
This is probably an easy fix, but it's giving me a bit of trouble.
"Here's":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/allegiances/wikis/main-page the page I'm working on.
What I'm trying to do is place a background image behind the sidebar and image, but it either doesn't show up, or everything currently on the page disappears. It seems like the background image needs to be in 3 pieces, or at least, that's what I've deduced looking at other people's code. I'm probably putting stuff in the wrong place, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Everything is cobbled together from other posts in the forums.
Here's the "middle":http://i43.tinypic.com/984mld.jpg portion of the background image and here's the "bottom":http://i41.tinypic.com/24zhati.png portion. The top portion seems to work just fine.
Code without middle and bottom portions follows:

_If you add this text here it will show the rest of the background image._
As long as you add more text it will show you the rest of the background.
Notice that I'm trying to fill it with sentences so that more image is shown.
More.
More.
More.
But if you go beyong the end of the image it will start from the beggining again, repeating itself.
If you need to cover the background but don't want to add text in certain portions of it, you can just add a line break "br/" (but use this "< >" instead of the " " for the br/). Like this:
(notice that this last /div is the one that corresponds to the first div of your page).
Hope that helps.
