mima kake Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Does anybody know how to set the resolution of a background picture in Dreamweaver so that it fits the screen, no matter what resolution you use. I have the problem that DW repeats the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 if i remember correctly, there should be a 'repeat' checkbox in the 'properties' pannel besides the bg image field. but i could be wrong since I haven't used it in a while and it's not installed on the pc i'm using right now. I'll check it later tonight to be sure. also are you using MX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coupes. Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 it is a web page editor, if you know microsoft frontpage, well it's pretty much the same. It simplifies greatly many aspects of building a website. You can insert images, for example, only by clicking some icons instead of havin to writ the code manually in notepad. So people who don't kno HTML and/or Javascript can use this to make basic, yet good looking, wesites. However if you know your 'stuff' it is a good way to save time and acheive a more professionnal result. mima kake, to come back to your question well i cannot seem to find a way to acheive this using dreamweaver's options, however you could simply do it wit a CSS, it's pretty easy. add this between you <head></head> tags: <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url("image.gif"); background-repeat: no-repeat } </style> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mima kake Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 thanx for the info coupes. I shall try it out later and have a look if it works. I don't use Mx yet just dreamweaver and flash 4.0 and photoshop 7.0. Good enough tools for building a site I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 i only asked if you had dreamweaver MX because i use version 4 also and if you had the MX version, which has changed quite a bit, I wouldn't have been able to help you. It tuns out i couldn't even help you dreamwever-wise note that the code i gave you will not make the bg image change size, it will only make it appear once instead of repeating itself.

Samuel Dravis Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I think you can change the size with a style sheet. They allow you to set percentages for width etc. You should check out some sites on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 There's probably a way to do so, but the pictures would get resized and the result wouldn't be a pretty sight. Still, you'd have to get the client screen's dimensions (not everyone has the same resolution) and change the image's siize consequently. But honestly, i couldn't help you there, my HTML and Javascript is kinda rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
