I try to catch up with you.
As far as I can identify your problem, you have to do this:

* remove your background-image-definition in the CSS
  * insert the image in your HTML
  * use TV to replace this image with a marker
or:
  * insert the marker by hand

my advice: keep the wrap '<div class="header">|</div>'

after that you have the choice to replace this marker with one of the
methods Ryan or I offered you.

just for clarification some information, as I know:

html-template
	= a html-file with markers or subparts, which you can work on 
	  or replace by typoscript (or php in an extension) [*1*]

template
	= a record of typo3, which consists of typoscript-definitions (and
typoscript-meta-information) [*2*]

TEMPLATE
	= a Typo3-Content-Object (cObject) (->TSRef 8.0.26) [*3*]

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/current/view/8/26/

TV takes a plain, valid HTML-file with normal content and identifies some
parts of it and replaces them with markern/subparts, which can be filled
with typo3-content-elments. 

If you skip TV and do it by hand the replacement normaly is done with some
typoscript like this:
	page.10 = TEMPLATE	[*3*]
	page.10 {
	    template = FILE
	    template.file= fileadmin/template/default.html	[*1*]
	    workOnSubpart = DOCUMENT_BODY
	    marks.MARKER1 = COA/IMAGE/TEXT/...
	    marks.MARKER2 = COA/IMAGE/TEXT/...

	    subparts.SMARKER1 = COA/IMAGE/TEXT/...
	    subparts.SMARKER2 = COA/IMAGE/TEXT/...
	}	

this is included in a typo3-record [*2*] which shows up as:
	Title:  	temp.mainmenu 
	Sitetitle:  	 
	Description:  	 
	Resources:

Maybe some TV-user can help us to become a common base.
