Aligning Background Image

by Seven August 10th 2009, 11:46 pm

Does anyone know how to get my background image on my forum aligned to fit any screen? I've seen the html/css for it somewhere but I can't remember what it is, or where I found it.

Also I'm not entirely sure which part to post it in. I'm using Shadow Designs forum layout, and i've edited it quite a bit.

Sorry, I don't understand. Which way do you want it aligned?

I want so it's centered and fits to all screen resolutions. (mines 1440x900) It SO off kilter

May I remind you that double/triple posting is not tolerated unless separated by 24 hours. Please use EDIT button.

Sorry about that, I still haven't found what I need, acually I know what I need to put, I'm just sure I know where to put it!

Code:: body { background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; background-position:center; }

Could someone help me out as to where I would put this? again the forum is flyclan.darkbb.com and I can't figure out where to put this bit of code ( I believe it is correct), My screen resolution is 1440x900, and the forums look absolutely awful without the background centered, natrually the forums and logo are, but not the background... OOOH no >.<

Hello, You can do it like this [ creating an Html page ]

Code:: <html <head> <title> Html page title </title> Your head info/script etc </head> <body background="Background Url"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="Address bar favicon Url"> <style> body { background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:fixed; background-position:center; } </style> Other content </body> </html>

We'll have to wait for CSS3 to be able to stretch a background for
all browsers but not all backgrounds will look good stretched. lol
Edit your image to the desired screen size first then upload it.
It's not going to be the same for all visitors to your page though.

I'm aware that would work if I was creating a new page, I was wanting to do it with the background of my forum, aligning to the center of the page is what i need it to do mainly, but it just wont seem to work and I cant find the proper style sheet to edit
