    Having text scrolling on a still background....

    Forgive me please, if this has already been discussed,
    I checked (almost) everywhere, and didn't find the needed information...

    So, I wish to have a scrolling text over a still (non-moving) background.

    The viewer has the full background picture under his eyes,
    but can read a text that scrolls over that background.

    (If it is already treated somewhere in BV,
    if you don't have time to answer to this question of mine,
    please, at least, give me the link to it.)

    All the best.

    Hi,

    - Insert the picture where you want it to be on your page

    - Insert a marquee using the Marquee button or Insert, Marquee and format it to your liking

    - REALLY IMPORTANT: Make sure for the Appearance, that you select Automatic for Background color.

      Are you thinking of constant scolling as in the marqee above or as
      manual scrolling as in this page
      Have fun

        Thank you HalaalPages !

        I think this will work, I 'll try it right now.

        Selecting "automatic" will let
        the background picture appear beneath the scrolling text, I guess,
        and this is exactly what I need !

        Thank you once again, mate !

          Oops !

          DavidUndAlicia, you put the finger right where it hurts...

          :)

          I need a "marquee kind of thing"
          that will let my background picture visible,
          while, manually, the text scrolls upon that picture.

          So, to resume :
          I need a background picture ALWAYS visible
          and the text scrolled manually (even with clickable words) by visitors....

          DavidUndAlicia,
          vielen dank in advance
          if you can help me on this...

            @HalaalPages :
            I tried the marquee technique right now...

            The automatic background is exactly what I need.

            But, unfortunately,
            this marquee technique seems to be available
            only with text scrolling alone, all by itself,
            while I need a manual scrolling, with words
            that will remain/have to be clickable by visitors...

              Hi, like this one? LINK If so! Just change the image url in this script & paste into the "beginning of body" under page properties.

              <script language="JavaScript1.2">
              if (document.all||document.getElementById)
              document.body.style.background="url('http://www.collectors-info.com/Collector-bird-jackdoor.gif') white center no-repeat fixed"
              </script

                Yes Collectors-info !

                If I undertand you well,
                I'll have to open (and deal with)
                the HTML section of my webpage....

                (sudden headache)

                Also, as in the marquee system,
                I'd like to adapt the size (width and length)
                of the scrolling text zone....

                And I forgot to mention :

                the scrolling text must not scroll all over the background picture,
                but just in a delimited part of it, as is doable with the marquee (customizing width and length) .

                    Have you tried just using a Form with only a TEXT AREA..or just the TEXT AREA? That will block it in. Not sure if the TEXT AREA in Bv works by itself without putting it on top of a form.. but it should work if all you want is the contained text.

                        Re: Having text scrolling on a still background....

                        OK, I went in BV Form Wizard,
                        selected "create a new form based on a template",
                        then selected "Comments",
                        removed the "Submit" and "Reset" buttons.

                        ---> I obtained a sheer "Text Area" only.

                        A complication arrives, in the "next" window of the wizard :
                        "were shoud be the data sent to ?"
                        In this window, I just selected "no action" in the Form Action.

                        The next window is the "Finish" one.



                        This "form" is now on my website page...

                        I arrange this form's size, and enter into the form's "properties"...

                        In the "Style" window, I check "transparent background".

                        My background picture is now visible.

                        But then, I don't know where to paste the text...

                        (I tried in the "general" window, nothing happens...)

                          Hi, you can have a combination of Davids & my one together. Place my version on a page & have it show in an iframe, (Davids version).
                          If we also place Karen's version on my page, we can have a 3 way version. (I know, its getting silly now) LOL

                              This is what I wrote :

                              There you have it :
                              I double-clicked in the form properties,
                              but once there, didn't know where to paste the text...
                              Which is still a trouble for me at this hour...
