my image is tiled? why??

lmarshall · Jun 18, 2002

I am using Dreamweaver MX. My image always shows up tiled if the screen area is more than 600x800 and it doesn't show the whole image if it is any less than that. I need it so that it will work with all screen areas. Is there any way to do that and why won't this code work?

Thanks!

Use this: <body background="homeback.gif" bgproperties=fixed>
I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

Hi mate,

It is not possible to do what you are trying to do.. I have never seen it anyway.

You would need to detect the resolution and then show the appropriate background image based on that.

Hope this helps Wullie

You can use a DW extension called "Background that Fit" not sure if you can get it at the Macromedia site or will have to do a search on google. It enables your background image to resize depending on the visitors resolution of their browser, so your background will always fit.

I think you can get the extension at

Hope thats of some help to you, Regards

Yes it is possible to do this!
I have seen it somewhere but don't remember where?

What I remember is the following syntax:

<body background="homeback.gif" bgproperties=notile>

or may be some boolean property for tiling the image.

Atleast I may assure you that it is possible. Momin ho to bay taigh bhee lerta hay sipahee
