First of all,

Remove display: table. I don't even know why you put that there in the first place.

Second of all,

You have more problems than just the background image. That's now how you code a website at all.

The navigation menu should not be marked up with images and javascript hover events. It's unreadable to anyone using a screen reader and it's dependent on javascript being enabled. This is bad.

I already gave you the proper way to mark it up in an earlier thread.

Images in your #currentprojects list should have a proper alt attribute describing the content for people unable to view the images (such as people using screen readers, like mentioned earlier). "web01" is not a proper value.

And finally... please, take the advice already given to you in earlier threads. They show you how to properly code a website and following the advice would probably solve some (if not all) problems you are having. Your design is good, but your coding scares the living daylights out of me.

andy,

I am new to the whole navigation, so looking at the css code isn't completely clear to me.

the css markup you gave me was a bit unclear to someone who doesn't know css that well.

is there anyway i can see it with the design in the back? i know that is too much to ask but since im a designer, im really bad at looking at codes.

If you go back and check my post in the other thread, you'll notice that I also linked you to a template. So you have a full set of markup and CSS.
