Background picture across frames

G

Guest

I’m trying to save a background pictures across frames. I’ve cut the pictures
according ling but I can’t get the pictures back together when saved on
different frames.
Moreover, the picture is tiled. How do I get it untiled and recompose the
picture properly?

Thanks

Background pictures will always tile in order to fill the space
available.
You can stop the tiling with a little CSS in all pages:
Immediately before the </head> tag in code view in all pages add:

<style type="text/css">
body {background: white url("images/background.jpg") no-repeat;}
</style>

The white gives a default colour if the browser cannot display images
images/background.jpg is the path from the page to the background image
- change as required.
no-repeat prevents the tiling.

Lining up background images between frames is not a task I would care to
take on - it is not easy, especially when different browsers, browser
widths/heights are involved.

Thanks Ronx.
Perhaps using tables is the best option.
How do I have the table border to fit the border line of the webpage (like
you see on alot of website now)? I can't remove that space.

If I understand correctly, set the page margins to 0
Either use Page Properties and set the margins, or use CSS
<style type="text/css">
Body {margin:0;}
</style>

And set the table to be 100% wide.
However, with 100% width pages, be prepared for the page layout to
change as the browser size changes.

Another way is to use a fixed width table (example: <table width="760">
) and set the image as a background to the table. The page should have
a background colour to match or compliment the image.

Thanks Ronx.

Could you tell me how I can insert a background picture in only 2 cell of a
table of 5?
When I select both cells, the background picture appears once in each!
I would like the picture acroos both cells!

Thanks

One solution:
Merge the two cells and insert a table with one row, two columns. Then
make the image a background image for the merged cell, or the nested
table.
The resulting structure may become difficult to manage if this is done
too often in the table.
