    Re: background image

    I believe it has something to do with the size (kbs) of the image. If it s too small it automatically tiles, I think.

      Re: background image

      Hi, there is another way that Naval has mentioned but cant remember where it is. But if you want a static image in the background so the text flows over it. Pop the code below into View>Page HTML>Beginning Of Body.
      Change the part in blue to your own image url.


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


      Good luck.
      Regards Chris.

          Strange! it may be the way i placed it on the forum. Give this one a try it works fine.

          HTML Code:
          <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<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

              In Properties you have an option
              Tile or stretched.
              Click on stretched.

                  To place your background image on the entire page, you will need to scale it the the size of the browser, or to tile it. Tiling it will keep repeating it or the X, and Y axises. However, that is not a professional look unless the image is seamless, and repetitions are not visible.

                  I would recommend scaling a background image to a 1024X1000 screen size, I believe. (Under windows screen sizes, its the one that starts with 1024. I forget the other dimension.) This is what the majority of computer monitors are running on right now. You image will be big, but will look professional.

                  If you need any help, you can always PM me.

                  Thanks.

                    Re: background image

                    So it's not possible to set it so, that it automatically adjusts to the screen? (Excuse me for my English)

                    Many thanks,

                    Chekh
