How to add colors ect. Options

[funride]

So I kind of just made this code from my head and what I remeber.

CODE

<style>
.content1 {position: absolute; top:###px; left:###px; width:###px; height:###px; overflow: auto;}
.content2 {position: absolute; top:###px; left:###px; width:###px; height:###px; overflow: auto;}
</style>

CODE

<div class="content1">
STUFF GOES HERE
</div>
<div class="content2">
STUFF GOES HERE
</div>

But my question is. In the CSS how do I put the text colors, navigation, and background image.

Another question, should I just design the tables along with the header image in PSP2 then allign them with the code?

You can also use an "img" tag if you just want a "background" image for a certain div class.
