Dreamweaver help

Can anyone help me with this little problem? I'm slowly learning Dreamweaver but keep coming across little things that I wasn't shown in the tutorial.
I understand that if you want to place a background image on your page, you would go to properties and insert blah.gif in the space provided. Then you can write or add images over the top of the background image.
What I'm trying to do, is place a background image only in a specific place, so that I can still place text and images over it, if you know what I mean.
I know this is possible cause I have seen it done.
This is driving me nuts...Can anyone please help?

Thanks

use CSS to style the body tag with a background image and dont forget the 'no-repeat' (to stop it tiling) and the comment tags(<!-- -->), put the following into the 'head' section of your page changing the values and image file name to suit your requirements
.....................................................
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-image: url(images/filename.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100px 250px;
}
-->
</style>
.....................................................
get this working first then look into creating an external style sheet

good luck

What you want to do is create a table, click inside of it in design view, then look to the floating panel and insert your image where it says "bg". That's all there is to it.

what rollo is talking about is found in the propertie panel - ctrl+F3 - and should be on the right and side of the panel
