Need help with image in post area

I am trying to put an image in the post area similar to what the stylesheet Green Grass has (image below).  So far no matter where i add the image i want it doesn't show up.  I've tried adding it in "The main post box" section of the css code and under the "Textarea" section as shown in the Green Grass code.

Sooo, just where do i put it? and what size should i make the image if i can ever get it to show up?


 


Thanks in advance for your help,  :crazy2:

In the CSS you should find something that says "Input Boxes" or something like that. Find "textarea" under the "background color" make a new line and put this,

Code: [Select]
background: url(IMAGE URL HERE) repeat-x;
Im not sure if that will work but you could give it a try.

Hi SpokenFor,

I had put that in the css code and didn't work yesterday.  Today i put "background-image" and my URL and it worked!!!

Thanks for your help. :smitten:


Edit:  I just don't understand!!!  I got the image to show up finally, but the image was too small to cover the whole post box area.  So i made and tried to use a different and now it doesn't show up at all.  I can't even get the old image to show up now??? :tickedoff: :crazy2:

Make sure the code you put in for the image is EXACTLY what it was with the original image you tried. Even just the slightest misspelling will cause it not wo work. I could also make the image the right size for you :)

Here is what you need to do.    Look for this area in the css:

Code: [Select]
/* The main post box - this makes it as wide as possible. */
.editor

Replace that area with this   (replace the background color and IMAGE URL in the code with your own.  
"repeat" will repeat the image horizontally and vertically so it will cover the entire area.    Use repeat-x if you want it to repeat horizontally only.   Use repeat-y if you want it to repeat vertically only.   



Code: [Select]
/* The main post box - this makes it as wide as possible. */
.editor
{
width: 96%;
background: #ffffff url(IMAGE URL) repeat;
}
