change the backround...

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 01:48 AM

I don't want a hex color. I want to use a photo. I can't seem to figure it out. I don't know css codes but I'm learning and I didn't see a tmpl file.

What can I do?

You would edit the stylesheet and add the background image tag. Here is a tutorial all about it

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Basically its something like this under the body tag you put in the stylesheet

background-image:url('bgdesert.jpg');

This is what the style sheet looks like:

You need to be able to write to the files hense the install docs say to change the stylesheets to 666

Go ahead FTP into your server and change all css files to 666 and you will be able to edit them and change things

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 04:45 PM

I even changed the file to .jpg

Still nothing.

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 04:46 PM

I'll try that now.

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 04:49 PM

I tried. I didn't get an error message. My screen is still white and not the ocean backround. Any ideas?

What does the Execute thing do? Server that is...

You need to check your path to the image. You probally want to put the full url to the image so it can be found

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 06:25 PM

I tried the URL. Still nothing. to make sure the it was the right code I tested it on IE with HTML code. Works great. However, when I do CSS I get nada. zilch. zero.

Quote:

BODY {
background-image:url('http://www.188thstreet.com/images/188thStreetbackround.png');
}

Chuck S · May 19th, 2005, 07:11 PM

For one your missing background color

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 09:33 PM

Duuuuuuuuur. I knew that. LOL. NOT! I'm a dork.

Wasabe · May 19th, 2005, 10:00 PM

Okay this is what code I have:

Quote:

BODY {
background: #FFFFFF;
background-image:url('http://www.188thstreet.com/images/188thStreetbackround.png');
}

that didn't work.

Chuck S · May 20th, 2005, 08:03 AM

Remove the ' around the image path

I tried to upload the png file but your site say's 200kb is too big

. So here's the jpg version.

Frost · May 22nd, 2005, 01:01 AM

Try the following:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Wasabe · May 22nd, 2005, 12:43 PM

This is what my 188thStreet.css looks like.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · May 22nd, 2005, 01:01 PM

Why do you have two body statements?

<body><body bgcolor="#FFCC33" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#0000FF" alink="#0000FF">

You do not specify a body statement in the header. Remove this and see what happens.

Wasabe · May 22nd, 2005, 07:05 PM

Ahh, I get. I deleted that from the header and still nothing.
