Fixed Background

#1

In Dreamweaver MX I was able to fix the background image as demostrated in this
url:
http://house-of-trinity.com/

It was done using the following code:
<body background="Images/cloudsBack.jpg" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
bgproperties="fixed">
which only required me to paste in "bgproperties="fixed"" to the end of the
line that DW had generated.

I am now using Dreamweaver 2004 and the code generated by it for the
backgrounds is:

body {
background-image: url(thong/tc-bg.jpg);
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}

I need to know where and how to paste in the code to make the background fixed
or how this can be accomplished another way. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you

add the last three lines to the css generated by DW.

background-image: url(thong/tc-bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-attachment: fixed;

Hello, The code you have is generated when using the Page Properties dialog
box to set the background. In DW MX 2004, to get the CSS dialog box where you
can have some more control, including a choice of fixed, you can either:
Select Text from the menu bar, then CSS Styles > New -or- Right click on your
page in design view, then CSS styles > New. You'll get 'New CSS Style' dialog
box. If you want to apply the background image to the body, next to Selector
Type, click the 'Tag' radio button. Move up to the text box that now says
'Tag:', and select 'body' from the dropdown menu. Then select where you want
the style to be added (stylesheet or this document) by clicking a button next
to 'Define in:' Click OK, then select 'background' from the catagory list. Fill
in the text boxes. (Fixed is in the Attachment: dropdown menu.) Hope that
helps, Take care, Tim

Thank you Nadia

That sort of did what I wanted, at least it is a first step. What I ended up
with was a fixed background with it NOT repeated <not tiled>, with the bg image
much larger than the background image file and centered.

I do want it to tile, so after pasting in those three lines, I then deleted
the lines":
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;

This left it the same as with the lines in, so then I put those two back in
and changed the line:
background-repeat: no-repeat;

to

background-repeat: repeat;

and it worked perfectly

Thank you again

Huh?

background-repeat:repeat

is the default. If that's what you wanted, you didn't need ANYTHING.

Also, there's no way to get a background image that is larger than the
source image.

I suspect that we are trapped in a miscommunication warp here....
