I am a newbie to osCommerce with a little PHP history.

After reading previous topic on the subject, I added:

BODY {
background-image : url(/images/black-bg.jpg);
background-repeat : no-repeat;
background-position : 50% 50%;
background-attachment : fixed;
color : #000000;
margin : 0;
}

to the style sheet and it work on only some of the pages but not all. The others still show up white.
Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how can solve this?

example: Lyodi.Com

Thanks. :huh:

Hi,

Looks like the pages that are showing up with the black background are doing so because this is in the body tag:

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#800080" alink="#FF0000" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">

...not because you changed the stylesheet.

You need to remove that stuff from the body tag (change these things with CSS)...

Then, in your stylesheet, remove the '/' in front of images

background-image : url(/images/black-bg.jpg);

should be...

background-image : url(images/black-bg.jpg);

could'nt view page as your ads prevented page load completing, delete them.

use tools in firefox, they show css errors.

I had to go the long way of doing it but it is working.

About the ad. Thanks for letting me know Sam. It does works find on internet explorer but I do need to try it in firefox as well.

What I did is this:

BODY {
  background: #000000;
  color: #000000;
  margin: 0px;
}

and then everytime there was to much black, like inside the tables, I added to the tables on each problem page this:  bgcolor="#ffffff" in the table code.

This is probably the long way of doing it but if anyone knows an easier way, Please speak up! All the help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks for the replies.

I fixed it with a blue background like this:

BODY {
background : url [ images/blue-bg.jpg ] ;
color : #000000;
margin : 0;
}

It works on Internet Explorer but I haven't seen it on any other broswers yet. I am trying out Firefox next.

Please take a look at it and let me know what you think. I am still new at this.

Thanks for all your help. :lol:
