Hi,

working on a very small site which loads in one go, so there is a div which holds all the background images, and on top of that (i.e. higher z-index) there is a content div which holds everything. I can switch backgrounds easily based on what content is selected.

Unfortunately, I noticed if you launch in a small window so that scrollbars appear, if you scroll there is no background image in the 'revealed' portions of the page. :-(

Page structure:

<body>
<div id="bg">
    <div class="bgone"></div>
    <div class="bgtwo"></div>
</div>

<div id="container">
<!-- content panels here -->
</div>
</body>

css:

#bg
{
    margin: 0px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    width:100%;
    height: 1024px;
    z-index:1;
}
.bgone
{
    margin: 0px;
    position: absolute;
    width:100%;
    height: 1024px;
    background-image:url(../images/one.jpg);
    background-position:top;
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    z-index:2;
}
.bgtwo
{
    margin: 0px;
    position: absolute;
    width:100%;
    height: 1024px;
    background-image:url(../images/two.jpg);
    background-position:top;
    background-repeat:repeat-x;
    z-index:3;
}
#container
{
    position:relative;
    width:900px;
    padding:0px;
    margin:0px auto;
    height:600px;
    z-index:10;
}
