As the title says, how do you go about coding in a static background image?

That link shows you how to do it with CSS.

I have no idea how to use CSS..

Thanks for the link. As interesting as it was, nothing they were giving me worked.

I tried external, internal, and everything else in between. Quite frankly, i am so angry i am about to punch a hole in this monitor.

What are you having trouble with? Just put this between the < head>< /head> tags in your document:

< style type="text/css">
body {
background-image : url(images/bg004.jpg);
background-attachment : fixed;
background-color : silver;
}
< /style>

And change the (images/bg004.jpg) part to link to the file you want to use as the background. And if you want to apply it to a table or div or something instead of the entire page, change body to another tag like table or div.

(and remember to delete the spaces at the beginnings of the tags, i just do that so it will show up in the forum.)

http://dreamsforsale.net/news/news.php is where i am trying to put it. Check the source code, maybe?

I want it static in the et cetera box.

Ok.... well have you looked closely at your source code yourself? It's a mess.... (I am referring to the news.php page source)

1. When you declare a body tag, declare it once.
2. You are using < font > tags. Just use css.
3. I see tags that aren't complete. First little ditty you have this: < /style > < /style > You have 2 closing tags for one tag.
4. It looks to me like you are including some news info incorrectly, thus repeating sections of body, etc. elements.

Where is the news info coming from (database or a file?) You only need to build one page, then have the news spit out between the < body > and < / body > tags.

Uppercase html tags are outdated. Use lowercase.

1) Thanks, fixed that - i think.
2) I'll get to that later, i need to get this bg done first.
3) You must have viewed the source while i was between editing, i caught that and fixed it soon after.
4) Not sure what you mean by that, i'm using fusion news.

In the case of uppercase html, that's thanks to imageready.

Still can't get this stupid thing to work. I appreciate both of your help thus far, though.
