HTML - 1st Website, 1st Problem: Td Background

Hi guys,

I'm currently trying to sort out the background for a website. What I'd like is to have a silhouette of a few people on a gradient background. I'd like to keep the quality high, but it also makes the file size large.

If there were no silhouette then I would have a one pixel strip of the gradient set to repeat. Is it possible to add two background pictures, or is there another way I can reduce the file size that I hadn't thought of?

Hello everyone

I have run into a roadblock. I am trying to make a background image scale properly with Internet Explorer. I have successfully made the image fit the web browser right, using this code in a CSS class. The code I am using is as written:
PHP Code:
body.background
{
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../Images/Website Background-3.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='../../Images/Website Background-3.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
} 


this code makes the background I am using work correctly in Internet Explorer. However, when I use this code, it makes the rest of the website stop working. I can no longer click on any of the links on the page, or anything of the sort. However, all my styles for the links still remain on the page. Any suggestions?

Thank you all,

Mitch Guzman

I've got another problem with my website. I've taken a screenshot that I wanted for my website background. But since it was took on my screen, it doesn't fill the screen on wider monitors.

I'm just wondering if there's any information on auto-resizing a website background. Or is it a scirpt/CSS/php style thing? This problem seems abit more complex than me previous problem.

I'm on a 19 inch monitor. Here is my website for those that have bigger screens than me. http://www.dawncraftmc.com/

Thanks

Hello again,

I have posted previously on a few occasions and had some things fixed with my website. Everything was working fine until just a couple of days ago I noticed something.

One of the problems I had was I wanted the images on my pages to load before an swf file, so I got assistance with that and it worked great.

I have now noticed that my website once again doesn't load in the order I want AND I have noticed that one of my swf files no longer loads in IE. It does work in Firefox though. I have checked this on two different computers and it definately doesnt work in IE.

I haven't made any changes that would stop the page from loading how I wanted it and I have no idea why the swf no longer works in IE.

My website URL is ozlotteriesonline.net and the swf file that doesnt work is on /business.html I'd also like to note that the swf file on my homepage still works, it just loads out of sequence.

Thanks in advance....again

Hello everybody.

I was recently working on my website and I was looking at a game that was not coming up properly. The game was coming but the format of the page was for some reason not appearing properly. I tried almost everything I could.
Could you guys take a look at it. Thanks.
I put a link on the bottom.

Hey guys im sure this question has been answered, but having tried a large majority of the answers none seem to work.
I have been building websites using my laptop (15 inch screen) after upgrading to a 17 inch screen im getting problems with the web page. It now has a horizontal scroll bar which i find rather annoying as do many other people that visit my sites. This is what it looks like at the moment on larger screens


what i need to find out is how to make it so the page fits within the parameters of the screen without a horizontal scroll bar.

this is the code that i used to make on of my sites, if possible could some one tell me where to maybe edit the string of html to get it to fit all screens?

Hey guys, im not sure if anyone has this problem but i have it and im pissing off because of it. I worked on it for over 4 hours to no avail so i decided to get some professional opinion here.


I designed my website using Photoshop and save for web and devices, giving me the HTML codes and the entire site is done in tables.

I had no problems for buttons whatsoever, i found a way to insert flash banner was by creating a slice and deleting it afterwards to insert my flash banner.

The problem: All text, headings, contents appear as image and i would have to reslice the entire website just to change the content and i cant use cutenews etc.

So i tried draw ap div, but it is not resolution dependent, it distorts at all kind of resolutions... I tried using Fireworks but to no avail too.. I cant really think of anything else. Something that allows me to do editable content. Please email me if you do not understand what i mean i can show you.

Hi everyone, new to HTMLforums and HTML in general.

I am seeking help with this problem :

Currently i am trying to create a simple website that could contain pictures and possibly videos that i would upload every few days. It would have these sections - intro, pictures, videos , contact info. I have already purchased a domain name and a webhost. I have read that to create the website and upload the pictures, you need to have some kind of HTML editor like microsoft front page to "write" the pages. I would like to know if there are any free HTML editors that i can download off the internet to write my website. And also, once you have the editor, how do you "link" it to your website so that when you write code, the page appears. Sorry if questions sounds noobish, this is my first time setting up website. Thanks alot.

Hi,

For some reason on my website ( http://www.the-undefined.net/index.php ) a random "<" keeps popping up in one of two places on the screen.

It either appears in the very top corner of the screen, the top corner of the central table of the page OR not at all... This isn't a HUGE problem or anything but it is slightly annoying... AND I can't get rid of it and I have no idea...

The site is for a webcomic and uses PHP Inclusion to add content (e.g. index.php?id=ep1 is the page for episode one)

Here's the coding of the index.php page:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function getURL(val){ 
base = 'http://www.the-undefined.net/index.php?id=ep'; 
   location = base + val; 
   return false; 
}

P.S. Sorry if this isn't where I should post this but I'm new to this!

Hi, could you check my site:

http://www.monkeygambling.com

and tell me if it works on your screen resolution. I've had some problems with diff resolutions. On 1024 x 768 it sometimes does a slight repeat of the background image because the text i have on there pushes the table down a bit.

thanks
