background image problem

      I want to put the slideshow on top of a woodgrain background. I thought it would be as simple as putting [vslider name="abc"] into a div, but it hasn't turned out to be that way.

      Here's the code I have right now:

      HTML
      <div id="slide">[vslider name="homeslideshow"]</div>

      CSS
      #slide{
      margin-top:-24px;
      background:url(http://www.campmikell.com/NEWSITE/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ss-background.jpg)no-repeat;
      height:500px;
      }

      #homeslideshowcontainer{
      margin-top:50px;
      }

      My hope was that the slide div would move up just underneath my menu (which it does) and that I could center the slideshow on the woodgrain. That last part is the part that isn't working. The woodgrain and slideshow are moving as a single entity for some reason. Any thoughts on how to get the slideshow to move independently of the background? Thanks!

      ok so when I do this

      #homeslideshow{
      margin:0 0 0 175px;
      }

      The slideshow moves to the right, but when I add a top value, it does nothing....

    3. Use container margins in vslider->more Vslider Settings:
      set them to:

      -46px 0 0 0

      should do the trick.

      Hope this helps!.

      Before I saw that you'd posted this, I just put the slideshow in a table and set the image as the table background. But thank you!
