in thread cgi and css, body tag not recognize

I note that that's a different css and html from the one you posted first. But at least we're getting somewhere now.

probably your background image url isn't valid. It works fine without the  background: url(images/vbc.jpg) no-repeat fixed top right; line.

update: note that urls in a CSS file are relative to the location of the CSS, not to the location of the calling HTML file.
