Dear god, 1990 called and wants it's HTML back!

Put this in your stylesheet

body
{
background-image: url('whatever.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

Define a CSS style for the BODY tag, then there are CSS options to fix the image, can't remember them off hand, if you use Dreamweaver it will give you the relevant options.

thanks, but i left this a bit late. has to be done for tommorow, and im still typing up the actual assignment that has to go on the website.

didnt realise i would need css

so im just gonna leave it looking crap lol

thanks for all your help anyway

marc2003 · 18 Nov 2007 at 20:06

it's easy. just use the internal method.....

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url('img36.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
{your html here}
</body>
</html>

it's taken me a minute to type that out.

You can also shorthand it to:

Code:

body { background: url('img36.jpg') no-repeat fixed; }

With the time saved you can teach yourself CSS so marc2003 hasn't just done your work for you - you should always make sure you understand what you're doing
