Hi

Yes, you can, but not that way. The [tt]form[/tt] tag has not "bachground" attribute. And even if you would ask "bac[red]k[/red]ground", no, no such attribute. Instead of guessing is much more efficient to read about the [tt]form[/tt] tag.

Anyway, you can do it with CSS :

<form style="background-image:url(mypic.jpg)">

Even if it works in Mozillas, Opera, Safari an Explorer, I would not do that. I would put the [tt]form[/tt] in a [tt]div[/tt] or other container and would set the style for that.

Hi,
I did search in the FAQ and elsewhere but couldnt find about background to a form.
If only css code is the way, so be it.
Thanks.
