Note that the widespread practice of coding images as CSS background
images is mostly misguided. If like many you have been "inspired" by CSS
ZenGarden, note that their coding practices result from a fundamental
flaw in their methodology, the resulting coding should not be emulated.
Coding images as CSS background images thwarts two types of essential
and/or basic functionality:
1) Non decorative images should be substituted by appropriate alt
content if a UA does not process images.
2) For decorative images the screen space occupied by images should be
freed up if a user has images disabled and CSS enabled.

Take note of what Spartanicus says. Assuming it's really a background,
then use CSS, e.g:
#mydiv {background: url(paper.jpg) #FFF8E8; color:black; }
where the background colour specification is an appropriate colour to
use if the image is not loaded.

Just be sure that the background does not interfere with reading text.
In general, background images should be similar to a watermark created
by Word: transparent and light.

Out of interest, what is the fundamental flaw in their methodology ?

Hey,
I am trying to learn the exact behavior of CSS and was just placing a
couple of <div>'s after each other.
Each of the <divhas a <pwithin and some text within the <p>
Now when I add a background-color to the div, the color won't fill up
the entire space I believe it should. The div only has color around the
text though it has one line space to the above element. I hope it is
clear what I mean:

I'm using two divs to create a shadowed-box type effect. Within the top div I want to put an image. I can get the image to center right to left, but not top to bottom. I'm making a series of boxes, and the images in them aren't all the same size. So I've sized the boxes to mach the largest of them, and I want to center them, so those that are smaller will be in the middle of the first div.
Here's the code on the page:

Hi All,
I'm working on a new site that has a two column layout underneath a title bar. If you check out:
http://www.christianleadership.org.uk/scratch/mainpage.php
using IE or Opera you will see what I am after as these browsers work fine.
However, in FF the results are slightly different - take a look and you'll see that the <p>, within <div class="mainContent"> has shot way over to the right.
I've been working on this for 2days now...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
