Fixed Background Image Problem

The Funny Farm · Mar 14, 2005

Can anyone tell me in simple language, how to set a fixed background image
(watermark) in Front Page that will work with different browsers? I am able
to fix the image in Internet Explorer but it continues to scroll in both
Netscape and Mozilla.

- Thanks in advance. You guys have always been lots of help in the past.

This is one I don't think the regulars are going to tell you how to
fix!! :-(
As far as I've found, you can't.

Sure you can! Use CSS:

<style>
body
{
background-image: url(backimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed
}
</style>

Note that Netscape 4 doesn't support this.

Or <body> | Properties > Formatting > browse to background image and enable
watermark checkbox.

I'm pretty sure that just sets the "fixed" attribute for the body tag.
That's an IE-only thing.

Hmm - if that's the case, I withdraw it! <checking>

Murray · Mar 15, 2005

Nope - recommendation stands!

style="background-attachment: fixed"

What I wanted to do was use a small jpg tiled and have the tiled
background as watermark. That works in IE but not NS/Mozilla. Is
there a way to code it so it will?
Thanks

The css code below watermarks a full page image.

Your page is not using CSS - it's using IE proprietary coding -

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="images/tcclub_logo_small.jpg"
bgproperties="fixed">

Change that to -

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="images/tcclub_logo_small.jpg"
style="background-attachment:fixed;">

and see what happens.

Guess it would have been easy enough for me to check, huh.

It was very hard. I worked on the test case most of the afternoon. Of
course, I was napping at the time.... 8)

My guts had nothing to do with this! 8)

But I am glad we were able to help you....

Unfortunately, the oldest available. I think it's even in black and white.
Version 1.1 Any hope for me?

Sure - do it manually. You always have access to the code, right?

The Funny Farm · Mar 16, 2005

I suppose. Are you talking about the HTML dialog box? I'm not sure how to
use it.
