 * Hi there
 * I have tried to add a background image to make my sidebar a certain colour: [http://www.themuso.co.za](http://www.themuso.co.za)
 * The problem is, with Firefox when you resize the page the sidebar slides left
   messing up the sidebar/header alignment. I have tried a number of different alignment
   options with the background picture but I cannot seem to get it to work.
 * Please help.
 * Thank you.
    Don

 * What do you have for the BG in your stylesheet?
    At the moment it’s showing a
   parse error.

 * Playing around with the background position does not seem to help. Sorry about
   the parse error I was playing around with widgets.
