I'll get to that in a second here, but first I'm intrigued with what you just pointed out...
In all the countless messages/threads I read yesterday, no, I didn't come across that one! Wrong search criteria, I guess.
That's interesting, as I've tried the epub there out in both iBooks and ADE, and indeed it seems to work just fine in both -- although looking at the code it's apparently making use of a background image (which supposedly should
not work, or at least not be supported).
I'm not sure what to do. I want to do it "right", and then this example you gave here seems to work, and yet it's "wrong" (even though it validates, once I add the title/language in).
I just spent the last little while trying to put together something that I hoped would work based on what the guy did in that previous link I provided (here's the link again to save you scrolling/searching for it)...

I created the attached file based on that -- pretty much guessing my way through the CSS and adapting it into what I want to do.
If you look at the code in Sigil, you won't see the background image in the preview, BUT if you look at it in ADE, the background shows up, with the title text (etc.) overlaying like it's supposed to, and it's almost exactly how I'd like it to be except for the fact that I'm not sure how to get the image to resize itself to fit within the window and no bigger.
And, I don't know how to get it to work in iBooks (which it doesn't).
I'm by no means an "expert" at CSS, though -- I wonder if perhaps this might have provided some inspiration for someone else to come up with a workable solution?
It'd be so cool if I could get this to work right, without using background-image (even though RbnJrg seems to have no provided a solution that seems to work that way!).
in advance!
