I'd suggest something along the lines of these websites
http://keynotesystems.com/dev http://www.systemax.com/ I think strips are alright as well, but maybe a little more than just stripes. I guess it depends on the type or amount of content you think will be displayed. -------------------- We are sorry but complaint.hell is not registered to Heaven Inc.

You have two bg's being outputted. One in your HTML:
<body background="images/bg.png"> and one in your CSS: CODE body,html { background-image:url(images/bg.png); Take out the background from the HTML and leave the styling to the style sheet Craig

For simplicities sake it is easier to have all styles in an external style sheet and leave html to what it does best (marking up content).
