Background image/layout body question, <------ Options

[Dwdrums1111]

Hey, what is the best way to incorperate a layout background pattern with a DIV layout. I have been able to make it work by using a GIF DIV's on the layout body and the background while keeping {background-color: XXXXXX;} so the design appears on top of the background colour. But i think i loose quality this way. any ideas. Or i am i doing this right.

CODE

body{ background-color: ######; background-image: url(urlgoeshere); }

You can always just save the patten background w/ the background color you want. And save as a .jpg.

I have been using this code. But what i meant is. In photoshop because the beckground is white, when i position the div white is still exposed. So ive been making the layout div a GIF to get rid of the background. And the pattern is no problem. But im just asking if this is the right way to do this?

Yes you can also save as a png. You do it whatever way you want.
