Background would not show up D: Options

[iDino]

Okay so I actually coded this one with the help of a tutorial :D
And I set it so the whole myspace is covered and my music player shows up,
and the add is still there so I dont get introuble.
I set my overlay's z index to 2,
and my music player's to 3 so it would be on top.
But my background wont show.
I dont know if it has somethig to do with the code I got to hide the nav bar but keep the ad or what!
Could someone look at this and maybe input a background code that should work?
I only need one to include my main background image!
i can position and that myself.
Thanks

actually, the easiest way would have been to just set it as your background. but since you simply had an overlay, it was hiding everything. except the bottom part of the layout. you cannot do that. that just looks tacky and shows you have no idea what you're doing. hide everything the correct way, don't use an overlay
you can go ahead and keep the div for the background and links and such, but get rid of the solid green overlay and set it as your background color:

CODE

<style>
.clearfix {background:none!important;}
.clearfix font, .clearfix ul, .mslogo, .clearfix form, .clearfix a, .clearfix select {display:none!important;}
.clearfix tr td div {filter:alpha(opacity:0)!important;}
div[id="topnav"], div[id="shortcuts"] {opacity:0!important;}
.contacttable, .extendednetwork, .latestblogentry, .profileinfo, .userprofileurl, .interestsanddetails, .userprofiledetail, .userprofilenetworking, .userprofileschool, .userprofilecompany, .friendspace, .friendscomments, .orangetext15{display:none;}
table,td,tr{padding:0px;width:;background-color:transparent}
table div div, table div font { display:none; }
div div table div div { display:block; }

table table embed{position:absolute; top:0px; left:96.5%; margin-left:0px;
z-index:3;
width:44px;}

body{
background-color:CCFFCC;}
</style>

So topic closed? shrug.gif
