New div Section With Background Image

Hey guys,

I’ve been struggling with this for a while and just can’t figure it out.
In the Main Index Template (index.php) I’m trying to create a small <div> section right before the web posts on my site show up.

I’ve added text and images to this section (h2/p/and grids), I want it all to be over a background.

This is what I’ve tried:

<div class="pad group">
<div class="entry">

These are to keep the new elemets in line with the old.

<div style="background-image: url(https://..........jpg); height: auto; width: auto; border: 1px solid black;">Element in div
		<div class="grid two-third">
</div>
</div>

I’ve had limited success with this as some of the content displayed the background image, only the first line though. I’m surprised because I was using Dreamweaver to check this and it works fine there.

I’ve also tried creating a new css rule and adding a background there, thus only needing to target the rule. Yet this makes no difference in the way the html is rendered watsoever. it did not work.

Any ideas guys? Thanks.
