Margins and pics as background

[msmeeple]

Hello again,

Since the last time I posted, I've been busy adapting a template so that it looks more like what I have on my old website. I pretty much have it the way I want it to be but there seems to be a few 'beautification' issues.

On IE, the template doesn't adjust to the browser size on the right side.

What do I need to change in order to fix this?

On the main page, http://www.msmeeple.com/copper/index.php, the background photo doesn't show through the text. On this page,
http://www.msmeeple.com/copper/index.php?cat=2  The background photo does show through the text.
What do I need to change on the index.php so that the background photo shows through?
I wouldn't mind it either if you could tell me how to make the text scroll, like on my old webpage:

I'm a newbie, so please be kind

Getting ready for Halloween early I see.

Remove the background styling in your css file.
Find in style.css:

Code Select Expand


.tableb, .catrow {
background: #000000 ;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 10px;
}


Remove

Code Select Expand

background: #000000 ;

Thanks, it worked.
I spent days changing and removing things (and then putting them back) from that sheet to try to find the code I needed with no success.
No suggestions on how to get the right side to adjust to the browser?
If I can't fix that then all the pages won't show.
Yeah, we're crazy about halloween and make animated props. So you have to get started early
