HTML - Background Image Question

Hello!

I'm having this problem and am not sure if it can be solved:

I have table with text. The text length varies as it is user-inputed.
I want to have, as background, 2 graphics that encapsulate it on the vertical axis.

They look like "[" and "]" but inverted.

What I am aiming to do is have the text start with the "inverted-[", continue to stretch and then end with "inverted-]".

How can it be done, please? There is only one TD and both graphics willl get covered with text, so I can't have one as background for the text TD and the last one just at the end without any text on it...

Ok, newbie here...
I have two questions about background pics...

I downloaded an image which I want to use as a background pic. The pic is located in the same folder as the my html script (Wordpad).
I can get it to display but the pic is "broken up"; the image basically cuts off on the right, and then starts over. How can I fix it?

This is a page for my sister-in-law; I wanted to email her a sample page but when I test-emailed it to myself, the background pic didn't display. I am pretty sure it has to do with the path; any recommendations?

Thanks so much for your help!

Normally when I add a background image to a frame the image repeats itself in a tiled fashion, you know what I mean.

Is there any way to change this so it only shows the background image once.

I don't want tiled.

Thanks!!

Hi,

I'm a complete newb and html-challenged, so please forgive my stupid questions.

This is what I want for the personal website I'm making: a fixed image as the background that covers the entire screen regardless of what screen resolution a user's computer has - this much I've managed with CSS...I think (like this right? http://www.geocities.com/serenamonster/index.htm ) clickable regions on this background image to use for navigation to various parts of the site. Or in other words, the background image as an image map. - this I'm having trouble with, because you have to designate the picture as a set # of pixels in dimension to make an image map right? and if I do that to my background image, then it may display too big or too small depending on the person's screen resolution right?
So does anyone know how I can have clickable regions on my fixed background image without the image being too big for low resolutions or too small for high resolutions? (he http://www.geocities.com/serenamonster/map.html the background image is fixed at 800x400. I want to make each star on the image a hyperlink to a different part of the site). I read somewhere that standard is 800x600 to fill a person's browser right? But on my computer the image only covers about 2/3 of the browser screen which is too small. How can I make it so that it fills 100% of any viewer's screen regardless of resolution? How does it look on your computer? I know these are probably just really stupid questions because I'm missing something really fundamental...but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

P.S. is it possible to do mouseovers for certain coordinates on an image map?

Hey everyone.

I'm not too experienced in HTML and I'm having a problem with displaying a background image on this site I'm building. I know this probably isn't the best way to be doing what I'm trying to do, but I'm using a Frameset with 3 columns. The left and right I just want to display the background image and the main to be another frameset containing the main website content. It looks perfectly fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer the background images in leftMargin and rightMargin don't show; it's just blank.

Here is my index.html file:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>| Totaro's Restaurant |</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="15%, 70%, 15%" border=0>
<frame name="left" src="leftMargin.html" />
<frame name="main" src="main.html" />
<frame name="right" src="rightMargin.html" />
</frameset>
<noframes>
I'm sorry, it seems your browser doesn't support frames! x(
</noframes>
</html>

and here is the code of one of the margins:
Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
<style>
body {
	background-image:url(images/bg.jpg);
 	background-repeat: repeat;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Here it is in Firefox: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...itefirefox.jpg

And in IE: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../websiteie.jpg

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,

I'm wanting to use a larger background image with a height of around 810pixels.

Currently when i implement it, only around half the image appears and there is no scroll bar to use to view the whole image. And currently when i put a css box into it, when i scroll down it will still only show the top section of the image.

Can anyone assist in what code to put into the CSS to allow the scroll bar to appear so i can view the whole background image?

Thanks

(sorry, meant to put this in the CSS section, only just realised)

This is the current script I am using for background change upon a timer, does anyone know how and where I can add a no bg repeat and position the image on the bottom left?

Any help would be great! Thanks

<script type="text/javascript">

var bgImages = new Array();
bgImages.push("/image/girl.gif");
bgImages.push("/image/girl2.gif");
bgImages.push("/image/girl3.gif");

//bgImages.push("URL HERE");

function LoadRandomBackground()
{
var randomImageIndex = Math.floor(Math.random()*bgImages.length)
document.body.background = bgImages[randomImageIndex];

}

function StartBackgroundRefreshTimer()
{
var timer = setInterval('LoadRandomBackground()',10000); // 10 seconds
}


</script>

</head>

<body onload="LoadRandomBackground(); StartBackgroundRefreshTimer()">

Hi Guys,

Firstly i apologise if this in the wrong section of the forum, please let me know.

My problem:

I have designed a webpage for my DJ services in Photoshop and plan to slice it up.
The first problem is my background. I designed it myself so its not simple. Basically i dont have a clue on how i should export the background from CS5 or how to implement it into my website on dreamweaver cs5.

Also i want to export my images once sliced from Photoshop with a transparent background, how would i do this?


Thanks for any help

i'm trying to set an image from my harddrive as the background but it doesn't seem to be working. I've been trying <body background="image location.jpg"> but it doesn't work. Any thoughts or solutions?

thanks

How would I do this?

Hello All,
I hope this is a good place to ask my question. I was working on a a webpage and tinkering with two different screen capturing software to capture my website then all of a sudden I realized I can no longer see the background of my webpage. I can go online and see background images of someone else webpage but no the webpages stored on my computer. If anyone has any idea about the cause of the problem please help.

Hello,
1) I need to know how to make my background image the size of every monitor that will view it in any browser? Any idea? OR at least the size of most monitors

2) Also, how do I make is stick so it doesn't scroll, everything scrolls above it or on it.

If the answer is CSS could you please write out a bit of code for me and tell me where to put it. Pretty please, with sugar on top. I know it sounds lazy, but I use to now CSS can't remember anything now and I'm suffering from short term memory loss which is new for me. I have to relearn everything and remember it - hard to do when you can't remember what you did 5 minutes ago.
