Full page background color behind background image.

I'm trying to have a full page background color behind my background image (height: 300px) as well as the rest of the page content. What is the best way to do this?

CSS:

background-color: #ffffff;

HTML:

<img src="imagelocation" alt="" width="" height="300">

Give this a shot good luck!

you'll want to stack the image on top of the color by doing this (example). You are using CSS cascading nature to stack the color and img.

background-color: #fff;
background-image: img;
