Shadow container with background image

[Belounsi]

Dear all,

This is my first post on this forum.

I'm trying to make a shadow background within my content block.

If i do this the same as the website above than the shadow starts in the header and i cannot modify the position because the whole page goes with it.

See my CSS code below:

#containershadow {
width: 1014px;
background: url(http://www.example.com/bg_shadow.png) repeat-y center;
margin:0 auto;
text-align: left;
}

Is there a way to manage the containershadow div separately? What i need to do is add the position top en bottom so it will match my website.

Can someone help me with this one please?

Thanks in advance.

Br,

Belounsi

It's kind of hard to tell what exactly you are trying to do here but it sounds like you are trying to put a dropshadow on a div with a repeating image.

You could put another div around the #containershadow, make it a little bigger and put the shadow there. Or better yet use CSS box-shadow on the #containershadow.
