Question Posted Saturday August 21 2004, 6:20 pm

Hey, I have an Easy Designer webpage. I know all of the HTML's and everything, I just can't figure out how to get a fixed background! All of the HTML's that are for fixed backgrounds, you need a URL for the background, but how do i get the URL if its saved into my documents on my computer? I understand that you right click and push prefrences but that doesnt work when I insert it into the HTML code! Please help!

When you upload your website to the server you are using its a good idea to change the URL in the IMG tag, and then you just upload the images as well. For example, I make my webpage with an image whos url is '/home/druidx/image1.png', so then when I upload my webpage and images, I change the url of the image to '/img/image1.png' where / is the root directory of my website and img/ is the directory where I keep all my images.
if you can't host your own images [which is dumb if you can't] then you need to register with one of the many free galleries on the web that alow hotlinking, like photobucket.
Hope that helps *hug*

Easy peesy!! If you don't alReady have a selected backgRound image.... simply go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and seaRch undeR "FRee Website BackgRound Images". Many sites will come up foR you to bRowse thRough and find the peRfect backgRound. One you have an image selected, save it to youR computeR, and go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Sign up [it's fRee], and make a photo album. Just upload youR image into the album. Then it tells you the URL AddRess of youR image. Copy that, and RetuRn to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and click "Column Settings" to the left of the page. Then paste the image URL into the white text box titled "Page BackGround Image (URL)". Then in the box above it, titled "Page BackgRound ColoR", put "[Link](Mouse over link to see full location);. Then pResto!! It should woRk!! Hope I helped!!

Put image file in same directory where the HTML file is, or upload it somewhere like Photobucket...
