How to make non-scrolling backgrounds?? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BoCo · 06-20-2003, 06:34 AM

I've seen a few webpages with backgrounds that stayed put while the text and pictures scrolled on top of it. Anyone know where I can find the code to do something like this?

No better way to explain it than a link to the CSS2 spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/

The section you specifically want is:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors...und-properties

I hope it helps.

You can actually do it with regular HTML too although I don't remember how. I'm positive you can find it on google though - that's how I found most things like that back when I was tinkering around with it.

By they way, looking at your webpage, you may want to look into some sort of PHP rather than using frames and plain HTML.

BODY BACKGROUND="image_you_want_to_use.gif" bgproperties="fixed"

make sure thats in your < body > tag.

Do I get a gold star for the day?

My old web design teacher hated that I corrected her HTML. It maybe the only thing I know when it comes to page design, but I do know it well
