Hi John,
You're welcome, glad it helped. Size depends on the screen resolution of the viewer. If someone uses a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, then obviously that sized image would cover the area. But someone running 1024 x 768 would require the a larger image. If there's a way to make a background image resize to fit various screens, I can't recall it. (You might possibly find more info doing a "Google" search for CSS html sites)
This is the reason it's best to use an image that works well when repeated. Your other option is to place the image "centered":
- Code: Select all
top center no-repeat fixed;
Or, use a smaller image as a logo within a corner rather than a full scene.
If you use an image larger than the viewers screen, as mentioned before, it might cause them to scroll (though you can check). This might only be if the image is located in the description html though... sorry, haven't played with large backgrounds for awhile. But, this is why I suggest looking yourself.
To change screen res, close all windows and "right click" your open screen. A drop down box appears. Click "Properties", then the "Settings" Tab. You'll see where to change settings.
Lastly, it's also good to check using different browsers. This and checking with different res is something everyone should do anytime they fix a new sheet. While a page may look great with Firefox, and Safari... Internet Explorer reads code differently, and may not display properly.
Primary thing is to enjoy playing with it, and not become frustrated. Pbase is allowing us to hack our pages, and sometimes it works differently when over-writing Pbase code than when doing a standard page for web. The good thing is, there's lots of info which can be found in Srijiths Pbase Wiki, searching this forum and other members info.
Good luck, and have fun!
