I would tend to believe that the most correct solution would be html side.

example:
<div id="background" >
<div id="1">
<div id="2">
</div>
</div>
</div>

I did that and now the image is hanging at the bottom of the page and not where i want it to be i used <style> to set where the margins are but didnt work! :S

Can't you use the body?
In css:
body{background-image:url("your _image.png")}

That would be an even better fix.

ye i was just trying to make if fancy :/ is ther anyway to put borders around images done in body?

You can still use a div if you want to. Just wrap all that in a div and give it an 'id'. I used the name 'test'. Then, in CSS:

html,body{height:100%}
#test{
background-image:url("your_image.png");
height:100%;
	}

EDIT: Yes, you can add a border to the body tag.
