Help needed making background image a clickable link

Hi guys,

I want to make the background of my site an advertising background where the background image is clickable.

I’ve tried a few tutorials but none seem to be working :frowning:

What I’ve got is this as my CSS…



#skin {position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 800px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: -1;
    background-position: fixed;
}

…and this as my HTML…


<div id="skin"><a href=""><img src="background.jpg" /></a></div>

It kind of works but the link is only a thin strip either side of the screen for some reason and doesn’t span the whole image background.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I’m going wrong?

Thank you very much and hope to hear from you!
