Background image
Hello all, a big massive newbie
Right, my problem is i made a background image using gimp, the size is 1054 w and 420 h, now when i put this into my webpage, the picture comes out with a repeated pic at the bottom like a tile, so i tried to put the css code no repeat but not sorting the problem out.
I'm using Trellian webpage, what i'm i doing wrong?

Can you show us the (css) code you used.
It should be something like:
background-image: url("bg.gif"); background-repeat:repeat-y;
x for across, y for down, or if you don't want it tiling at all, then
background-attachment: fixed;

I think the only way you can do this is in CSS. This is something like what your page should look like:
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url("C:\Documents and Settings\julie\My Documents\My Pictures\websitegetonthis\skytemplates\trial.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!--Rest of page...-->
Also, you are going to have to actually upload the image and change the URL when the time comes to be able to view it. If you want the image to repeat horizontally or vertically, do "repeat-x" or "repeat-y" where I have "no-repeat".

be sure to take off the "C:\Documents and Settings\julie\My Documents\My Pictures\websitegetonthis\skytemplates\" on the image link or it wont work when you upload it (there is no C drive on the internet)

Especially since most of the Internet runs on Linux.

Have you got a link ballet?
It would be much easier to debug at the source of the problem!

No link yet as i've not put the webpage on a hosting web yet, just messing round in my web editor.
I've scraped this for now and try and work on a easier nav bar.
Thanks very much
