HTML - Cannot Set Image As Background
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 Similar TutorialsIs it possible to put a smaller background image on top (like in layers) of my old background image? I have a background image, but I want to put a smaller image on top of that one, but for it to be treated also as background image. This image is a black vertical rectangle, but is faded on the edges to give a transparency, so its a .png. So ultimately what I am trying to do is put this black rectanlge on top of my original background image and with the transparency on the edges of this image, be able to see my original background image. How can I do so? Also what I was thinking was that this faded background would be scaled to fit different screen sizes, so do "width: 75%"? Just so that it ALWAYS stays at 75% no matter what screen size it is viewed on. Is this the right approach towards getting this result? 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! ~Serena 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">

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. How would I do this? 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()"> 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. ~eDee Can somebody give me a full code <div style=""> for putting background images in divs... thanks in advance for you're help!

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?

Eyup people I was just wondering how I would go about centering or stretching a background image on a webpage without it doubleing itself. i hope that makes sense lol... sorta like when you set a wallpaper on your computer screen and set it to "tiled", there maybe more than 1 image showing. Id just like it to be stretched. any help would be appreciated thanks Hi All, This is probably a basic question to ask but for some reason i cant seem to figure it out, Basically what you can see below is a table width="850" and then another table inside that table with a width="425" as you can see i have set 4 back ground images which look perfect my problem is im trying to put wording over them images....i can get wording on the images but they wont go in the relevant position, i.e align="top" they align at the bottom! iv tried everything i can possibly think off.... HTML Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="850">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="425" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left">
<tr>
<td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box1.png); background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat">
<a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a>
</td>
<td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box3.png); background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat">
<a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box2.png); background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat">
<a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a>
</td>
<td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box4.png); background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat">
<a href="/html/ExistingCustomers.aspx">APPLY HERE</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height: 15px">
</tr>
</table>
If some one can tell me how to do it this i would highly appreciate it, iv tried adding this HTML Code: <tr>
<td height="163" style="background-image: url(/images/box1.png); background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat" class="WhiteSmall" valign="top"><b>Apply Now></b>
</td>
</tr>
So it aligns it at the top but still i need it in the top middle..... if there a way of saying Valign="top middle" ??? as im aware you can use background-position: left top maybe you can do the same for valign? Hope some one can help me thanks for reading and look forward to hearing from you I have a template that I'm trying to customize. It has a left sidebanner div and image. How do I get text to appear on top of the image? By making the image a background-image in CSS? By specifying z-index? Your help is GREATLY appreciated Newbie here. Hello to everyone.
