Help Page - Putting the Background on Your Page


NOTE: The italicized text below is for instructional use only and is not to be included in your HTML source. Text to copy and paste is boldfaced.

The following code goes directly after the </title> command, before the </head> and <body> commands on your page.

Copy below by highlighting, then use your browser's "copy" function. Use your HTML editor to paste into your document------------------>

<body background="file.ext" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
The words "file.ext" above should be replaced with the actual file name of the background you are using (the quotation marks should remain around the filename), and you must also upload the background file to your server in the same directory as the page using the background for this code to work.

The "bgcolor" sets the base background color that appears underneath the background; this will appear first, then will not show at all unless you are using tables with borders. The color "#FFFFFF" is white. The "text" sets the base color for text in your document; the color "#000000" is black.
