I have been trying to put a image background on my index page but no luck. Nothing seems to work. Do any of you know what type of html I need to put in in order to the background working?

FOr the sake of this dash mark "-" take place of those arrow things usually found in HTML documents, since they don't show up here.<P>Do you have the image link to your background? If you have a background idea in your workspace file, go to the
-body-
of your HTML file and insert this.<P>-body background="images/FILENAME.JPG"- <P>inserting the file name as obvious. <P>If you are linking from a URL from another webpage entirely, insert this instead.<P>-body background="INSERT FULL URL HERE"- <P>example "http://www.anypage.com/anygraphic.jpg" . Obviously, that is not an athentic graphic, but you get the idea.<P>YOu can also add solid color in the back of your website by entering
-body bgcolor="#000000"-
to get a black background, pursay. If you know what color you want. You should also add both if you use a dark color, using a similar color to your graphic, just in case the image doesn't download properly, they can still the webpage. Like this, if your background is already black.<P>-body bgcolor="#ffffff" background="http://www.graphics.com/graphic.jpg"-<P>Hope that helps!<P>Ris<p>[This message has been edited by risawn (edited 02-02-2002).]

Try this:
<font face="courier new" color=blue>
<body background="/images/<font color=black>background.png</font>"></font><P>Somethings to note; the image tiles by default, so if you've got a repeating pattern, you only need the smallest part.
Try to keep the file size down, and if you spend more time looking at it than the content, or it hurts your eyes, you may want to change it. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------
