Body Background Issue

I would like the background to appear underneath the horizontal menu on this page. My code currently looks like this:

HTML:
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  2. "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  3. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
  4.  
  5. <head>
  6. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
  7. <script src="/style/equalcolumns.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
  8. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.further-flight.co.uk/style/20080613.css"/>
  9. <title>FURTHER FLIGHT</title>
  10. </head>
  11.  
  12. <body>
  13.  
  14. 	<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/style/mainmenu.php');?>
  15.  
  16.  
  17. </body>
  18. </html>

CSS:
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. body {
  2. background: url("/media/background.gif") repeat fixed 0px 50px;
  3. }

Suspect it's a simple fix - could anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I'm afraid that's not corrected the problem.

Are you applying it to the body, or to the objects within the body. It must be applied to all of the objects you want to see the background through.

Note that it doesn't work with form text boxes.

I want the background of the vertical menu to begin at the bottom of the horizontal one.

just redo your background image
there should be 8px of white to match the padding, 10px of dark green because of the borders, 147 of the lighter green, and another 10 of the dark green

you have 10px of white, not 8

The background would still be positioned incorrectly, surely? It's the vertical alignment that is causing the issue.

Try using two divs, with a background image in each one.
