Resolution Formatting

[BarryHall]

Hi all,

First time to the site, and what an impressive site it is...

I was wondering, in FrontPage is there anyway of formatting a web so that no matter what screen resolution you are running in the page still appears at least slightly similar to that of a 800x600 display.

The new site I am building has a background image, and when you look at it in a higher display many of the images "shift", thats fine but the background image tiles.

Are there any ways you can stop or at least limit this???

Any help would be really appreciated

:confused:

WELCOME!!!

The easiest and "most" efficient way of preventing a background picture from tiling is to use a STYLE SHEET (CSS) in which you may define the attributes of your site, and thus prevent your background image from tiling.

You should find all the information you need to acheive this [right here (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp)]

Have Fun!

Thanks its a little complicated. I have never even looked at CSS before.

Is it just a type of tag like HTML or is it more of a applet. If so do I need anything or is it just like HTML you either know it or get your head in a book and study it.????

CSS tags are like html tags...however CSS defines the characteristics and attributes of the html tags and how they behave.

This is NOT at all anything like an applet...

Thanks,

Thats a load of my mind. I thought I was going to have to force my audience to start downloading things. Ill get there in the end, Just found some tutorials on them ill have a crack at them tomorrow when my mind is all fresh (and I dont have 10 mins left in the working day) LOL...

Once again I truly appreciate your help

Now just FYI I want to pass this on to you...in case all the reading gets to ya...

You will want to add this bit of code....
<style>
<!--
body { background-image: url('images/global.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center }
-->
</style> either in between the head tags of all your pages or create a fle called style.css and add that above code to that file then you will want to link your pages to that CSS...

You can do that through FP under FORMAT, Style Sheet Links in your main menu bar....and simply apply to All Pages...

Note that the bit in RED needs to point to YOUR background graphic...
