Thread: Help with background sizing

Hi,

i have a 800x600 jpeg which i wan to use for my background.
my home page is set to 800x600 size, and i enabled the "Center in Browser".

After importing the jpeg, how come the pic keep tiling the entire area?
isn't it supposed to just appear within my 800x600 working area?
and when i preview it is not centered.

basically, i want my 800x600 webpage to load in the center of the browser automatically, with the rest of the area white or watever color.

can anyone teach me?

Hi, just pop the image on the front of the page using the image button & not as a background image.

OMG such a simple solution and it worked.
i must be dumb or something.
thanks!!!!

can i jus ask, how to make it exactly center of the page?

bcos after selecting "Center of browser", the image is now in the center, but flushed to the top but i wan it directly at the center.

Hi, the other alternitive is to place the code below in the page html properties area via: View>Page html>Begining of body & replace this part of the code with your image url. It will end up looking like this link.

HTML Code:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if (document.all||document.getElementById)
document.body.style.background="url('http://www.collectors-info.com/Collector-bird-jackdoor.gif') white center no-repeat fixed"
</script

Hi, to center this or any other element use the layout tool. Click the image border to make it 'active'. Click 'Layout'. Click 'center'. Choose 'horizontal' or 'vertical''.

Good luck!

thanks all for helping.
i think i managed to get wat i have in mind at last!
