Creating Background Images

RE: Images

Hi Seema,

To create a background image you'll need to have some software such as Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. There are thousands of free image applications too. I'd recommend subtle backgrounds or watermarks so that people can still read the text and not be distracted. Indeed, sometimes background images can look terrible!

As far as applying the image, just use CSS 'background' parameter or traditional HTML parameters.

To apply to a table cell for example, use <td background="your-image.jpg">cell data here</td>
To apply to the whole page, edit the body tag like this: <body background="your-image.jpg"> (or use Page Properties in Dreamweaver and browse to the file)

Don't forget you'll need to also upload the image to your web server so the HTML source parameter can find the image file.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
