Adding a background image to the whole site.

[broadstreetbully 1]

my image still will not display on my site, all i get is a plain white BG and my text has changed to Times New Roman?? any suggetsions, this is the code i have

BODY {

background-image : url('/www/images/metal013.gif);

background-repeat : no-repeat;

background-position : 50% 50%;

background-attachment : fixed;

color : #000000;

margin : 0;

}

 

in the line under BODY you have the single quote right after the first parenthesis but you forgot to close it with a single quote before the last parenthisis...like ('code goes here') but in yours you have ('code goes here) with no second/closing single parenthisis. maybe that's why.....

In the CSS file for the site under body, add the lines similar to below, obviously changing the relevant code

 

 

Thanks.

I also add width 100% so no matter what size of image its always fits, please let me know if it may cause any problem some where, as I am new and just trying to learn something,

 

BODY {

background-image: url('images/g_bg.gif');

width: 100%; margin: auto;

background-repeat: repeat;

background-position: center;

}

 

thanks in advance for your comments

OMG, I feel really, really dumb, because I don't even know how to get to the body, or anything else for that matter to edit oscommerce. Any help would be appreciated. I am not sure If I have to edit this on my server, using the files that I uploaded or through the admin section of the oscommerce, PLEASE, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi,

 

after i had the image background, how can i make it clickable, to open another page...

 

 

thanks :)

[germ 233]

Background images aren't normally "clickable".

 

I'd have to see the site to see exactly what you're wanting to make "clickable".

This may well make me sound thick, but how do I upload an image to the web server?

I have put the image into the images file using ftp. is that not the same thing?

 

this is the code I have entered......

background-image : url('catalog/images/shop background.jpg');

background-repeat : no-repeat;

background-position : 50% 50%;

background-attachment : fixed;

color : #000000;

margin : 0;

[germ 233]

Try replacing this line:

 

background-image : url('catalog/images/shop background.jpg');

 

With this:

 

background-image : url('images/shop background.jpg');

thanks jim, I have tried that too...

[germ 233]

Unless you want to give a URL (by post or PM) stick a fork in me 'cuz I'm done.

 

I can't help fix what I can't see...

You should be able to add it with this:

body {background: url(images/skywithclouds.jpg) no-repeat 50% 50%;}

 

No quotes are needed. Note however that unless the closing body tag is 'cleared' like so:

<div class="clear"></div>
</body>

The image will not display.

There is no

<div class="clear"></div>
</body>

In the css file should there be i'm running 2.3.1

Hello everyone,is this thread still on?I want to ask some few questions in changing the background.

[apolyshow 5]

Is this still on?

[germ 233]

Anyone really wanting help on this should give their URL.

 

It's almost impossible to help with this without a URL.

There is no

<div class="clear"></div>
</body>

Add

 

.clear {

clear: both;

}

 

to your stylesheet.
