 * Trying to get my header image to repeat horizontally. I am using the echelon 
   theme by mysitemyway. I am already usuing a background image on repeat in my 
   theme options so I need to add the slice for my header image on repeat in the
   header.php file.
 * This is what i have so far. Added this to the header.php file but it is not working.
 * `<div style = "position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 
   300px; background: url('http://kingeventrentalsplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/
   01/header.png') repeat;">`
 * I’m stuck 🙁
 * thanks in advance

 * Tried messing with the code a bit and it still won’t work. Is it wrong or should
   I be using something else?

 * The site has a similar body background so I’m not sure how adding it to the header
   area is going to look.
    Where are you putting this div exactly? I assume you’re
   closing the div with </div>? I’d avoid inline styling if possible and use a class
   referenced in the stylesheet. repeat-x would be a horizontal repeat. If this 
   is a premium theme, I’d ask the theme vendor / developer for more qualified advice.

 * Yes, the body background that is up right now I want to change to a slice on 
   repeat instead of one large image,and I want to do it by putting it into the 
   header.php file so I can use a bubble background image for the body, which is
   currently white.
 * I put the code before the header inner so it would repeat across the screen, 
   but its only showing inside the header area.
 * <?php mysite_before_header();
 * ?><div id=”header”>
    <div style = “position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width:
   100%; height: 300px; background: url(‘[http://kingeventrentalsplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/header.png&#8217](http://kingeventrentalsplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/header.png&#8217);)
   repeat;”> </div>
 *  <div id=”header_inner”>

 * The body background is a repeating slice:

   I don’t think you need to add another div – apply the background to the header
   div and the header-inner will sit on top of it.
