Hi Newbie's First Post _ background stripes

CSS stripes

[Firefly]

Hi can anyone tell me what I need to do to create three broad horizontal stripes say 50px deep that sit in the background of a centered fixed width template?

At the moment I have a single image that tiles..across the entire background.. I want a three thick stripes that go across the full page.

Do I need coloured images to tile?

or

Can it be done via CSS colours?

A code example would be much appreciated here as I am new to this..

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Firefly!

You need to create an image with stripes and then repeat it on the "x" plane.

background: url("/path/to/stipes.gif") repeat-x;
