Hi,Does anyone know how to have the gradient effect
(several colors) in background with FP2000? Some time
ago before my computer crashed, I found a tip at
Microsoft page, but can no longer find it. It was just a
matter of copying and pasting some code. If anyone has
this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Elaine

It can be done using the Gradient feature
of DirectX light filters. However it is only supported by
or works in Internet Explorer. Other browsers will
ignore it or not display the page content.
Here's a place to start looking:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...orGradient.asp

Scripting the filter is a real chore.
The best option would be to make a blank page using the
gradient and then take a scren shot and convert it to a background image,
preferably a gif or jpg.

take the time to help someone who knows so little. Many
thanks. Elaine
