RE: background width and height

Actually, with css2 you can have multiple background images even on top of
each other (hey, if they are transparent :-)
Of course you can place anything on top of them, or even in between. Here's
a basic example:


<div style="width:100%;height:100%;position:relative;">
      <img src="yourImagePath.gif"  style="
	   width:100%;
	   height:100%;
	   position:absolute;
	   left:0px;
	   top:0px;
	   z-index:1;" 
	   alt="this is my background image"/>
	  <span style="
	   position:relative;
	   z-index:2400;
	   font-size:56;">
	   tgnfjkwsgnfjdslkgnjfdslkgnfjdsl
	  </span>
    </div>

You may find this code big, but in case you have more elements it would be a
good idea to use classes and just define the z-index inline.
Enjoy...
