my band is designing our myspace page ourselves, and we are all novices, so we are running into some problems

i found the code to make a nifty myspace page but need a little help

everything works awesome on this page, i have been able to add a banner atop the page, but am having trouble with the background image and need to know if i am doing something wrong or how to align this

with the original code if i leave the bg image in place that the original code writer had, it works perfect, except i have his BG, which we do not want, and in his how to guide he even states that we can simply replace our own BG with his and it will work

we took his original image and just copied our new image over the top thinking the diminsions would then work, but unfortunately they still are not

<style>
table, tr, td{background-color:transparent;}

body, body.bodycontent{margin-top:500px;
background-color: FFFFFF;
background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/ernest787/outtoseabckgms.jpg);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
overflow-x: hidden;
}

that is the code we are using with our image

this is his code with his image

body, body.bodycontent{
background-color: FFFFFF;
background-image:url(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/decaydancefbr/Boo%20Apparel/BooBackground.jpg);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
overflow-x: hidden;
}

obviously everything is the same, except we added to the bodycontent to place the blank space so we could add the banner (which he later does in his tutorial)

at this point we believe it has to be something wrong with our background image... can anyone please help us?!?

Works fine in Firefox. What seems to be the problem with the background image? Did you forget to type the ending style tag here or is it missing on your page?

BTW, you can shorten that code somewhat: Code: <style>
table, tr, td{background-color:transparent;}

body, body.bodycontent {
margin-top:500px;
background: fff url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/ernest787/outtoseabckgms.jpg) no-repeat top center fixed;
overflow-x: hidden;
} The "background" is all one line.

It's very good code. I think it's different thing. If you have any new design. Please share with us.
