Hi and sorry.
I need to design as http://wordpress.org, ie to use two background images: one for the header and other for the footer.

I read FAQ: http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=10665
and checked forum : http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=6517 and http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=6937

I was able to do as kdawes01, but could not as lmilesw or Flynn. My site: http://www.r302.ru. WP-3.5.1, Ata 3.7.12

I am doing writes lmilesw, but I have nothing. Sorry I can't speak "OMG this worked and it is so simple!" as emanuel1969 and please help me.

I read http://techxt.com/2012/11/04/full-wi...-in-atahualpa/, but I can not understand why </tr></tbody> in front, and <tbody><tr> - behind :

The Code

/* This below code an update for the article. A GENERIC CODE to fit any layout. */
</tr></tbody></table></div></div>
<div id="wrapper"><div id="container">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" id="layout">
<colgroup>
<?php if ( $left_col == "on" ) { ?><col /><?php } ?>
<?php if ( $left_col2 == "on" ) { ?><col /><?php } ?>
<col />
<?php if ( $right_col2 == "on" ) { ?><col /><?php } ?>
<?php if ( $right_col == "on" ) { ?><col /><?php } ?>
</colgroup>
<tbody><tr><td colspan="<?php echo $cols; ?>"></td>

you don't put that code in the footer.php you put it in the theme option ato->Style & Edit Footer->Footer content before anything else.

This creates a second footer that you can make full width.

OK. It's understandable.

but my second question:
I read - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_tbody.asp - first <tbody> <tr> , then .... then </tr> </tbody>
but http://techxt.com/2012/11/04/full-wi...-in-atahualpa/: first </tr></tbody> . Is it possible? and why? Sorry that I do not know!

And what about my first question: How use two background images: one for the header and other for the footer?

The reason is that you first have to end the existing table (whigh the atahualpa footer is part of) and then you start a new table. You don't need the end of the new table because the code will be there which would have ended the original table.

hope that makes it clearer
