Jack, do you mean a desktop background/image? if yes press start, go to control panel ,press display then desktop and you can set an image on the browse button. Nice big pic of a Sherco would be good for yours :wacko:

i mean for a website - like the grey with red spots that TC has

i will use the sherco actually - with the puking smilies either side of it

:wacko: sherco :wacko:

As an attribute to the page's BODY tag. For example:

<body background="images/mybackground.gif">

Or you could do it in the stylesheet...

body {

background-image: url(images/mybackground.gif);

background-position: center;

background-repeat: repeat-y;

}

think i worded that wrong....i meant to ask how to make my background go black instead of the usual white.... you can see the problem of boring white background here

hi

the following sample will give you a black background with white text

<html>

<head></head>

<body bgcolor=#000000>

<font color=#ffffff>

Hello world :-)

</body>

</html>

Colors (sic) are defined in RGB (Red Green Blue) and the values are in (sorry about this) hexidecimal, base 16. Being a nerd i like this throw-back to the 80's, but understand the issues.

#00 00 00 is Red Green Blue, each pair goes from 00 (dark) to ff (bright), Red is therefore #ff0000, blue #00ff00 etc etc

to really improve the look and feel of your site would recommend two courses of actions:

+ use the open source motto, re-use rather than re-invent and look as some of the community offerings. For my site I use something called SPIP which is a French content management system and is easy to install on most provided web spaces

+ or get your head around stylesheets; and nick someone elses that you like

option 1 is the way to go :beer:

Geek valentine:

"Roses are #ff0000, violets are #0000ff, all my base are belong to you."

Well, I thought it was funny the first time I saw it :beer:
