neonsurge Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) 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; } Edited January 21, 2007 by neonsurge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_h Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcra Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
