PLEASE HELP!

Is it possible to put a smaller background image on top (like in layers) of my old background image? I have a background image, but I want to put a smaller image on top of that one, but for it to be treated also as background image. This image is a black vertical rectangle, but is faded on the edges to give a transparency, so its a .png. So ultimately what I am trying to do is put this black rectanlge on top of my original background image and with the transparency on the edges of this image, be able to see my original background image. How can I do so? Also what I was thinking was that this faded background would be scaled to fit different screen sizes, so do "width: 75%"? Just so that it ALWAYS stays at 75% no matter what screen size it is viewed on. Is this the right approach towards getting this result?

nevermind...

Thank you for helping and this site is awesome! Take care...

im trying to use a image hosting site to make a image a background for a web site so they can see my idea what would the code look like to make that happen

Hey all

Ok i wasnt sure wether to put this in html or css but i decided to put it here and hpe for the best.

Ok , I have set a background color and a background image which all works well.

Except that when i insert the banner it isnt at the top of the screen it is about a cm down from the top. This is because of the background image but im not sure how to fix it.

Thankyou in advance,

Jake.
