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!

DruidX answered Sunday August 22 2004, 11:26 am: 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* [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]
