Does anyone know of any easy way to turn an image into a website background?

dareutwo · 2004-04-13, 11:16 PM

On your desktop or on a web page?

LOL Webpage, I allready accidently saved a whore as the background on my deaktop trying to figure it out

Ok, so I can't read.. sue me.. lol

img src="background.gif"

If it's a simple gif, make it like 1 by 800 pixels... it will tile (scroll down) on it's own.

Ok, it's been awhile since I've done this.

In the head tags =
replace 'bgcolor=" with "background=youfile.gif"

Thanx for the help Dareutwo
I wanted to use a single image but am starting to think I need to figure out another way

You can use background images for :-

1) A whole page...
<BODY BACKGROUND="images/background.jpg">

2) A cell of a table...
<TD BACKGROUND="images/background.gif"

Example 1 will tile (repeat) over the whole page, so the actual size of the image is important.

Example 2 will be constrained by the size of the table cell, but will repeat itself, if smaller than the table cell it is in.

You can also use CSS to show a background only once, like this...
background-image:url(images/bkground.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat;
