I began playing with Cool menu and liked it a lot...until I could not get it positioned correctly.  From research it looks like this is a big problem?

Anyhow, I need to apply style to another menu, and basically want it to act/look like the cool menu did.  The problem is that when I added into my style sheet something simple like background-image, it doesn't show on my page?  I'm really new to both html and css, so I really don't know what I'm missing here.

Essentially I have my main page, with 7 menu items across the top, and then they have their descendents that drop down. 

Thanks in advance for your help and patience!!
