strugling

[bing66]

hi all
wonder if there is someone realy helpfull out there, i am trying to create a template using the beta version3 of the template kit and am strugling, i thought it would be fairly simple, but i guess nothing is simple
I have a psd mockup, which has a background gradient+image, i have attachedthe image with a yellow foreground to show the layout i want
the problems are keeping the background stationary as content is added ( not repeating)
dont like to ask someone to do it for me as i will not learn much that way any help appreciated
regards
Alan

Not sure if this will help, but one option could be to make your tables or div tags be an assigned number. Meaning instead of (example) tables being 100%, force them to be restricted to 20% or just tell the HTML editor you want the talbe to be specifically 250px. Like for a column or picture or what ever?

Something like ths?

<td width="202" height="933" align="left" valign="top">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="xhtml" />
</td>

Rather than this?

<td width="100%" height="933" align="left" valign="top">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="xhtml" />
</td>

Hope this helps.......

I am having problems still, hate to ask, but could anyone knock me up a template like the one above, no images, i think i can manage to put them in the css file, this is very frustrating and perhaps i can learn from it

Now it's hard to help you when you're asking for something so vague.
You could do is look at the new manual posted on the site.

joomla!› joomla-template-kits-tutorials› Joomla Template Kit 3.X Manual

Just plugging in module position should be simple.
