Hello, I am currently trying to center a background image that is attributed to the body tag

Code: Select all

body {
 background-color: #CC6600;
 background-image: url(file:Jetstore/images/jetstore_header.gif);
 background-repeat: repeat-y;
 background-position:center;
}

my question is, how would I go about posistion text over the back ground image, i want the text in a seperate div, i have tried margins, padding, align nothing seems to work :-(, i generally use percent as my markup...any advice?

Thanks
