oh,and the link to my xanga is xanga.com/alienxing37 if anyone want s to see what i mean

[Relentless]

It's because you gotta position your banner/layout on the top left corner.. WHen you do that the background wont show up..

For the tan color it is probbaly #E2D9C4 I can't really tell.. Since it must be a .gif..

[do0kie]

i think it is positioned in the top left corner ,but the background still shows.thanks for the color code

[do0kie]

would i have to position the layout with css instead of using html to put the image of the layout?

[HotStuffff09]

stop double posting...theres a thing called an edit button...

[do0kie]

sorry

[hi-C]

Change the top margin in your picture's div to a larger negative number. When I input your codes in the Xanga Skin Previewer, I saw that -95 moved it all the way up without the background showing.

[do0kie]

ok thanks

[[4]eternity]

I think the best is to slice your image, that'll be much easier...

[hi-C]

ok thanks
