Hello,

Does one have to change the jpgs etc.

<body background=&quot;images/background.jpg&quot;>

They did work and now?

You'll need to specify the path and file name of your image. <body background=&quot;images/background.jpg&quot;> will only work if you have a file called &quot;background.jpg&quot; in a folder called &quot;images&quot; on your server.

If your file is called &quot;site_bg.jpg&quot; and is in the &quot;pictures&quot; folder, then you will need:

<body background=&quot;pictures/site_bg.jpg&quot;>

No it is on the second page and the button is way

down by the counter at the bottom of the index.

the second page has the <body background=&quot;images/background.jpg&quot;>

OK, problem is that you have two <body> tags. You should only ever have one. You need to get rid of the one at the top of the page that looks like &quot;<body background=&quot;images/background.jpg&quot;>&quot;:

And change the one that reads:
[tt]
<body lang=ES style='tab-interval:35.4pt'>

to:
<body lang=ES style='tab-interval:35.4pt' background=&quot;images/background.jpg&quot;>
[/tt]

Also note that the code you have searches the background in:


I have checked your site and noticed that the images folder is not actually in basededatos folder but in the root. So change your code accordingly:
Code: 
<body lang=ES style=&quot;tab-interval:35.4pt&quot; background=&quot;../images/background.jpg&quot;>
or
<body lang=ES style=&quot;tab-interval:35.4pt&quot; background=&quot;/images/background.jpg&quot;>
Hope it helps.

Better still:
[tt]
<body lang=ES style=&quot;tab-interval:35.4pt&quot; background=&quot;/images/background.jpg&quot;>
[/tt]
This specifies a path relative to the HTML root directory rather than the current directory, so it will always use as your background image, regardless of the directory your HTML file is in. This means you can juggle your site around without breaking the link.
