hungryhouse Jun 29th, 2007, 01:22 AM So I joined the 21st Century and got a web page and am struggling along. I can upload files just fine, like pictures, but only so that you can click on them and see them seperately. I've managed to whip up a background for my home page in html, so how do I upload it so that it does it's job as a background, and not so that it's a link I click on? Hope this makes sense. macpablo Jun 29th, 2007, 10:06 AM the CSS way #body { background-image: url('(EmptyReference!)'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position: center top; } { background-image: url('(EmptyReference!)');<--- Empty reference is the location of your background picture that is on your server the rest of the stuff is positioning and the way the background is placed the HTML way <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Page</title> </head> <body background="(!!! picture goes here !!!)"> <p></p> </body> </html> hope this helps Gerbill Jun 29th, 2007, 12:44 PM As I said before, buy a book. This isn't something you can easily learn by "osmosis". There are shelves and shelves of good HTML and CSS books in the bookstores. HowEver Jun 29th, 2007, 03:44 PM There are also a billion websites that want to teach you web authoring, and some that review a few of the billion: learn html - Google Search (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=learn+html&btnG=Google+Search&meta=) Check with your local library, volunteer associations, clubs, groups, schools, etc., any or all of which may offer free courses in simple web design. hungryhouse Jun 29th, 2007, 07:49 PM thanks macpablo, that's all I needed. | |
