what?
and btw the reason your picture isnt showing:
c:\!!!1\backgroundbluegradient1.jpg <-- its pointing somewhere to your harddrive.... also i noticed theres two <html> tags and thus two <head> sections.
actually all of this:
---------------------------------
<style type="text/css">
body {background-repeat: no-repeat;}
</style>
<!-- End Gem Insert your own HTML -->
<!-- Start Gem Insert your own HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:
url('c:\!!!1\backgroundbluegradient1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
is inside the body tag.... you just need that style part to be inside the head area (the actual heading...).
also you shouldnt keep the call to the image inside the body tag when you use css to change it.
