all u can do really is tile it mate, it won't look perfect to everyone but that's just gotta be lived with, we're all restricted in the same ways as you.

But if I use the above image will that work? I can understand if it were all one solid color of something maybe. I dont see how doing what you said will work on this type of image.

I guess I am confused. Can you tell me what pixel size you used Ricool to make that gif like that?

DaveyBoy · 03-02-2005, 12:29 PM

just use the image at 1024x768, it's really not as important as ur making it out. try the code imaginemn poasted, if not, just use the static image.

dont rember, think it was 10x400px, a gradient from top to bottom,
colors: the dark color at the top transparent at the bottom and then antialised to the bg color of the page, then the css tells it only to tile from left to right and only one time from top to bottom

Ok without the coding here is it what it does and I was trying to explain why I didnt think it would work with this image.

Maybe using your code will take care of this problem?

Did you try what I suggested?

docquesting · 03-02-2005, 12:39 PM

I didnt even see that till now for some reason dude. Ok here is code as it is d/m. Where do I insert yours? I want to make sure I dont make a mistake.

<body background="test/images/hostempbg1.gif" topmargin="0">
<div align="center">
<table width="572" border="0">
<tr>
<td background="test/images/header.jpg"><br>
<br>

Remove background="test/images/hostempbg1.gif" from the body tag and add my code between the <HEAD> tags. You will need to modify the image path.

Now it looks like this. What happened that the bg image is not what it is supposed to be?

Use the original image not the modified one you altered. But it looks like it's doing what you wanted.

imaginemn

Ricoool · 03-02-2005, 01:01 PM

your is only 50px wide, you must have saved it like that

docquesting · 03-02-2005, 01:12 PM

Ya Ricool I changed it back too 1024*768 and used the code that
imaginemn recommened. It now seems too look fine in both browsers and in both settings. Can you guys double check this for me also?

Ricool or Imaginemn do you guys know of any way to make the bottom part of the main table show none of the bg as in the top? This is the next thing I would like to get right.

Ricoool · 03-02-2005, 01:31 PM

it still wont work, see image, I am at 1280x1024

Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: #91613D;
background-image: url(test/images/ht_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
-->
</style>

try this with my image and loose all in your body tag so it only says <body>

you need to tell the cell to have a height of 383px, but you run into problems with tiling in the cell if the content extends more then 383px (like the problem you had with the background)

docquesting · 03-02-2005, 01:49 PM

Ok How is this? http://www.hostinginnovators.com/test.html

How do I get my image to work right?

Ricoool · 03-02-2005, 01:54 PM

this will work in all resolutions
you cant do this with you image

docquesting · 03-02-2005, 02:01 PM

Should be someway but ya maybe not b/c thats why I asked what I did up ^. I dont really care for how that looks myself so question. How did the all dark brown bg look?

Also how do I get the images in the center table to look right and all joined to each other like they should be?
