css background image on muilple pages?

[Martin Bean]

hi how do i code the css to have an image background and have it repeating? and what code would i have to type in the HTML page to make it work i have already linked the css page to the HTML page

[Murray *TMM*]

Repeating? You mean tiling across and down the page? That's the default
behavior of a background image. What am I missing in your question?

yes, im not sure how to code the css for this and the html pages?

I'm still not sure what you are asking but I'll give it a shot.

If you open DW, create a new style to be written into an external
stylesheet, elect to redefine the body tag, and select the background
category, you can browse to and select an image. When you finish this, you
will have a new file in your site, with the name you specified, containing
the following CSS rule -

body { background-image:whatever.gif; }

Each new page would need to be linked to this stylesheet using the link icon
at the bottom of the CSS panel. Each new page would then use that
stylesheet, and would therefore have that same background image.

Is that what you wanted to know?

For anyone else that may be reading this wondering about CSS code for
background images: the line posted above by Murray should have a bit more to it:

body { background-image: url(whatever.gif); }

The url() part is needed around the filename.

Happy coding.

[Murray *TMM*]

Yes - you're right. Big oops....
