Default HTML question for images please - 04-19-2005 , 02:11 PM







I do have three images that vertically are #1, #2, and #3 to make a full
background.

Trying to figure out how to html them so they will look like one background
when I'm done?

Thank you very much

At what resolution? 600? 800? 1024?

The create an imaged background, the traditional HTML has been to use
a "tiled" graphic ... a single graphic that is repeated over and over
again. Another, more contemporary method is to use the
"background-image" property in cascading style sheets to display
background images, either tiled or untiled. You don't provide the
dimensions of your images so it's hard to say right now what exactly
it is you want to accomplish (three images repeated ad infinitum?) or
which method would best suit your purpose.

thanks for replying Steve

These three images used to be one cut in thirds.

The second and third vertically below the first continue to make a 600 high
by 500 wide total image for a background of webpage or email, Only one time
would do. Just trying to "paste or stitch" them together via HTML or I
guess even a program to make one image.

Any ideas ??

I did the HTML -- you get the idea below
<body background=image 1>
<img src=image 2>
<img src=image 3>
with no <BR> or anything, and didn't show up correctly so I came here.

Ideas on tags or a program?

thank you

I'd use cascading style sheets and layer the graphics as a background
image, i.e. "z-index: 1". One advantage, if used for a web site, would
be page load time. Once the images were displayed and loaded into the
browser cache, they would appear almost instantaneously on the
subsequent pages even with a dial-up connection.

thank you - not knowing CSS yet, I found a freebie stitch/composite program
that worked well
Thanks again
