Problem with the CSS

[deathwantsme]

Im working on a CSS for my forum, and i cant figure out why part of it is silver when i dont think there is any silver left. The preveiw shows me that its how i want it, but in reality, its not how i want it. Could anyone look over my CSS and tell me whats wrong with it?

The preview is bleow. The green line is a seperator i drew to show the working CSS (outside the seperator) and what the preview looks like (inside the seperator)

that's an image. catbg.jpg. replace it with something else.

[deathwantsme]

yup, that did it, thank you. Why is it that the image was differnt lengths depending on where it showed up? did it just get streched?

Another question, i cant read the things in the admin panel under administration center. The live from SMF and Support Information is the same text color as the forum background, what do i need to change?

never mind, i had this problem before and i remember how to fix it.
