Theme development

- blahkjdflkjj
- djfkjfksdjfjdsf
- kjdfkjdskfjskfjds

thanks

I'm nearly at wit's end here. Using PHPTemplate and a custom theme, I want to set up a block region at the top of the main window, just before the main content. I'm trying to make the left block wider than the right. Right now, I have two view blocks in the area, which is called "content-top". The CSS looks like something like this:

I Want to buy theme for Calling Card business. Please contact me offline.

I am still learning CSS.
While I have learned to do most things. I would like to know how to make a background image of the body of my site span and repeat the height of my page.

For example:
http://www.branzone.com/

Having the background body of the site span from top of the browser to the bottom.
I can do it so that it will create the background where there is content, but by default I want it to span it automaticly.

IE is being a pain in the patoot and I'm wondering if someone could take a look at my site and give me some hints...

Details:

I'm working from a copy of Bluemarine, and changing the style.css incrementally to tweak things - I generally only need a few basic changes.

I have implemented graphical tabs as discussed here:

http://drupal.org/node/42459 (make sure you go down to the bottom of that discussion as my initial solution there had to be modified)

i would like to have the 'phplayersmenu' (www.phplayersmenu.sourceforge.net)
based navigation for my Drupal 4.6 website,

can you help me how to integrate the phplayersmenu
into the phptemplate theme?

thaks a lot.

enky.
