Hey Inger, thanks for the code, but it isn't working :(, I ran my site through the w3c validator and everything on my /media.html page seems to be in tact, however no code is pushing the image to the right, rather more to the left.. i'm not sure what I did wrong, but i'm thinking instead of a . "class" i'm going to create a new "div" box for links. Hopefully this works.. wish me luck! :D

If it doesn't work, there must be something else stopping it from sliding over to the right.

Check out the attached file.

I'm not at home right now, so I can't scrutinize your code.

Well, I checked...

body {
background:;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
border: none;
}


The fault is here, in your style sheet. Either you must remove the width, or change it to 100%,
or remove the relative positioning.

Thank you for looking Inger, I will check it out right now, also i'm starting to make my own backrounds and graphics, is there anything you can suggest as far as a pinstriping website? Like what backrounds and things like that you think should be there.. i'm working on my client getting me some good personal stuff so I can add it to the website..

i'll try with removing the position relative first..

As to the body css: You shouldn't really set a width (other than 100%) on the body tag. The body is the background where everything else is sitting on top of, so giving the body just a colour and say nothing about the width is perfectly ok.
If you want your CONTENT to appear within a certain width, make a wrapper inside the body tags and set a width on that instead.

Regarding positioning: If you have position absolute on something, and no top/ bottom /left or right defined, the object with the absolute positioning will end up in the top left corner of your screen. If the wrapper has a relative positioning, the absolute will be in the top left corner inside the wrapper. But you can move the absolute thingie around by setting things like top: 200px; left 20px; (20px in from the left and 200px down from the top), or bottom: 0; right: 0; (bottom right corner.), or something like that.

I don't know what would be the best background for displaying pinstriping work, but definitely just a colour, no background graphic that takes the attention off from the displayed work. You should use a colour that lets the work stand out without being obtrusive.

And one more thing: You have my mail address. And you may perhaps have seen in the 'Break room' my post about Google trouble. So please don't try contacting me that way the next couple of days, as I won't get it.
