Background Image Help?? 2

[BoniR]

Hello~
I have a coldfusion web page that I use as a header for multiple pages. The problem is that my background image (which contains a bar at the top of the page) is duplicating further down the page and blocks some of the text. I have heard that there is an attribute that can be added to keep this from happening...
Any chance anyone can help?
Thanks in advance!!!

You can do this with CSS, provided you know your clients have browsers that support it.

Here is an example.

body { color: black; background-color: white; background-image: url(background.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; }

This tells it to repeat across the x plane, (left and right).

I double checked in IE6 and Firefox and both displayed it correctly, using a 500 pixel high image with a stripe at the top.

Hope that helps.

if you include the doctype to enforce "standards mode" in IE you should have less of an issue with browser compatibility. here is an FAQ to help.

Unless you have users using 4th gen browsers (which only a handfull of people use on their vintage 486's) you shouldn't have a problem with CSS.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.
