We could, if we could see your code. A link to your site or copying your template might be nice...

I can't think of any particular reason to put a background image off-site rather than in the images folder, but if that's what you want to do, just make sure that your background url is the full url to the image and that you use the correct syntax, which will vary depending on whether you are using plain html or css.

It's already working. You have:

Code: Select all

<BODY BACKGROUND="images/45.gif" BGPROPERTIES="fixed">
Which is showing 45.gif as the background image. You probably don't need the BGPROPERTIES="fixed" bit unless you're centering the background image and not repeating it, or putting it in a specific position. As it is, it's repeating across the background anyway.

If you can't see it, refresh your browser - that's a common problem at the moment with CG.

Oh.

On all your non-index pages, add a backslash at the start, like this:

Code: Select all

<BODY BACKGROUND="/images/45.gif" BGPROPERTIES="fixed">
If your other comic pages are in the d folder (where they normally sit) then using /images/45.gif means that it will go looking starting from root, which means that it will find the right images folder. If you use images/45.gif then it's looking in the wrong place - it'll be looking for d/images/45.gif which obviously does not exist.

That'll solve your problem.
