    Hey Patrick

    When you say a background like this, do you mean one that stays fixed as the rest of the page scrolls OR do you mean the image(s)?

    CSS allows you to do layers. This looks like what they did to me is use a tiny image that is tall and thin and then repeat it in the X direction..

    Next they put a semi transparent image on top of that that is centered.

    Then they placed the content on top of that...

    This is all fairly standard stuff in CSS.

    With the <div> tag and the right code, you can place just about anything you want at any place on the page...

    Does that help or do you have no idea at all what I am talking about?

    have a Great Day!

    Richard you beat me to it - I had just started typing a similar reply when you posted yours!

    Patrick, as Richard stated you need to be a bit more specific - what aspect of this page do you want to duplicate?

    One thing I might add is that you may want to take a look at the HTML ("View Source" in most browsers) of the site you want to emulate. Specifically look at the Body tag and the style sheet associated with the document - http://www.the-cb-code.com/styles.css in your case. If you are familiar with HTML and CSS you should be able to figure out what you need to know.
