Background image in node content Is it possible to create a image file upload and then have that image appear as a background image within the "content" area of a particular page?  I then want to put content (text) over the image.  It would only be for a particular content type, but there is about 80 pages within this content type and each page/node would have its own background image.

To simplify, I have about 80 recipes.  I have high-res images of each.  I want the image to be the background and I would then have the specifics of the recipe on top of the background image.

Example:
I've used the Dynamic Background module, which has a whole set of advantages for setting up background which vary according to content. At that particular time I used the Context module, which gave me a varied set of options (including content type, path, taxonomy, etc.) and which is very extensible. For your recipes, you could combine with the taxonomy functionality for different types of recipes, or select a particular image for each.

While I don't like using modules for everything, if this is going to be part of your day to day use of the site, I recommend that you choose the simpler solution, so you can try and choose what works better for you.

When you install the Module, you can set up which images you want to use, style the image and the type of behaviour you want for the whole site:



Since you can assign it using CSS, you can set it up for the content area only (#region-content), or whatever indicator you define in Panels. So, you can combine the logic in panels to show a particular background for a content type, or whatever logic you want to assign.
