I want to add a large picture on a page of my web site. I want to make it a
watermark where the tex and pictures will slide over it. How can I add this
picture to the background so it won't tile\repete itself?
 
Right click the page, select page properties,
select background, check background image,
check watermark, browse to the image file
click Apply or Ok.
( make sure the image is in a folder inside your web )
 
The watermark works fine but the picture still repets its self. I want one
picture with alot of blank space around it. I don't want the same picture
repeting throughtout the page.
 
well then, you'll need to use .css either inline of on a linked style sheet.
which way would you rather go?
 
Well, I guess I'll have to read up on .css. Seems as if I get more involved
on my part-time website. Soon I won't have anytime left to do anything but
work on the website.lol
 
Here's what I was told, and it worked for me:

If you are using a theme - Modify the Theme to add
the "watermark" style:
Format | Theme | Modify | Text - select More Text Styles
Select the body tag and then Modify | Border | Shading and
select
Repeat - select no-repeat
Attachment - select fixed
Vertical Position - select center
Horizontal Position - select center
OK|OK|OK|OK & Save As a new theme name

when you decide whether you want to use inline style or a linked sheet I'll
gladly "give you the code" to make it happen.
 
Eather, but maybe, I should choose inline as each page may have a different
image on it. By the way, this is the web I'm working on.
http://www.marinemammalstrandingcenter.org/mainnew.htm
I didn't do the background picture you see. It's complicated as this
picture is made up of two. One picture loads and the other follows. I can't
figure how that webmaster did that. I have to come up with my own idear for
the other pages.
 
I think you need to look carefully at the source and learn about frames
- the background is not a split image
That "page" is a frameset consisting of 2 pages - each w/ a different page background
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" rows="128,*" frameborder="0">
<frame name="header" scrolling="no" noresize target="mainnew" src="topfrnew.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frame name="main" src="welcome.htm" target="_self">

The navigation bar is a series of mouseovers using std FP Dynamic DHTML Effects

I know that the navation bar is a series of mouseovers as I built them. I
top part containing the navation bar is a page (Topfram). The bottom page is
the one that is a mystery. When I run mainnew.htm on FP preview, only half
of the picture on the bottom fram (welcom.htm). When I run mainnew on
browser, all of the picture shows on the bottom fram (welcom.htm). I can't
figure that one out. I want to add pictures to the other pages but I don't
think I'll do it that way.

It's just a page w/ a background - see

Using a fixed background
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" background="2whalevision.jpg" bgproperties="fixed">

you can apply a theme to just one page but there is probably a better way to
skin the cat. do you have a url so I could see the page?
 
Just right click the in the page and in Page Properties - Background (Formatting)
select the Background Image Check box, Watermark and browse to your image w/i the site

| Sorry, I thought I sent the url. The "events" page is one of the pages that
| I want to add a picture to.
