Help Me!! Re: Using A background image In my DWT Header

Question

Hello,
I have tried posting several messages regarding this issue but not sure if I am explaining my dilemma properly. So here we go, here is the link to my Generic Template page which I converted to an html to enable you to view it. (http://bridgestoprosperity.org/Templates/General.htm). Now what I am trying to do is use the image that is currently in the header as a background image , BUT i cannot figure out how to insert it as a div background image. Then once I fugure that out I am hoping there is a script that will be able to dynamically insert the page title for each page as it's opened. The title needs to be placed on the right hand side of header ABOVE the words Bridges to Prosperity USA over the background image.
Because this is the main template for our entire site i am hoping that once I figure this out, I can just save all the new changes to the template and be done with it and from then on when I create a new page from template because it will hopefully have some code in it where it calls the Title of the page from some script that I will no longer have to create headers with embedded (non searchable) Page titles for EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR OVER 750 PAGES.......
YIKES, PLEASE HELP, AND I WOULD BE FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT IF YOU COULD ACTUALLY INCLUDE CODE IN YOUR RESPONSE AND EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHERE TO PUT IT OR WHAT TO REMOVE AND WHAT TO PASTE. THE MORE DETAILED THE BETTER CAUSE I AM VERY NEW TO ALL OF THIS.
I really appreciate it,
Allan

Your mistake is to drawImage and then call super.paintComponent, which paints over the image you have drawn. That's not what I said, re-read my earlier response.protected void paintComponent (Graphics g) {
   super.paintComponent(g);
   g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
   //super.paintComponent(g);
}I would also advise against calling icon.getImage inside the paintComponent, make a Image instance field and call the method once to store a reference to the Image.
paintComponent is called many times during resize / move operations, and should be as lean as possible.
