Guestbook Background

[Lonegunmen]

Also for those whom wanted a scrolling or fixed background. try this.......

Background Properties

HTML style sheets provide you the capability to decorate the background of an element by using color and images. Note that using the properties described in the following sections doesn't define the background for the Web page as a whole. These properties set the background of an element on the Web page. For example, if you define a background for the <UL> tag, as in the following example, then the background only appears within each occurrence of that tag on the Web page.



UL {background-image: URL(http://www.myserver.com/images/watermark.gif)}

You can group the background properties described in the following sections using background. You specify the background color, image, repeat, attachment, and position like this:



background: white URL(http://www.myserver.com/images/bg.gif) repeat-x fixed top, left

background-attachment

The background-attachment property determines whether the background image is fixed in the browser window or scrolls as the user scrolls the window. You can use this property to create a watermark behind your Web page that stays put regardless of which portion of the Web page the user is viewing.

You can assign two possible values to background-attachment. "fixed" (As above)or "scroll"


I hope this helps you.

I think its also possible to add a cursor to your guestbook with this CSS code,

body { cursor:url("http://www.geocities.com/rob_foshizzle/xmas/xmascane.cur");

Someone try it

Is there anyway I can have a picture as a background instead of just a solid color?

Thanks!

Thanks Andreas so much for the link, however, I can't figure it out...I tried so many different ways and it's not working for me...

I think there's something I just don't understand.

Thanks again for your help...I really appreciate it!!!

Hi again,

Somewhere in the header of your guestbook you need to add this:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!---
BODY {background: url(http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourimage.gif); }

--->
</STYLE>

where you replace http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourimage.gif with the location of your image.

Please note that you must be in HTML mode when doing this. Click on the -image to view HTML source.

Please let me know if this does not work. Also, if you have your guestbook ID or URL I can take a look at it for you.

I understand the code...but, now when I go into guestbook settings there are all of these codes in the header field and there isn't that <> symbol...arrgh!!!

[MsTresMulder]

Also...there is no button to 'update'...I have tried logging out and when I go into settings there is still this really long code there...

My html is [<a href="http://www.ultraguest.com/?id=1117828753">View Guestbook</a>]
[<a href="http://www.ultraguest.com/?id=1117828753&sign=1">Sign Guestbook</a>]

THANKS AGAIN!!!
