I have found in the CSS how to change the background color for the header, body and footer.

I can’t seem to find a way to add a background image behind the entire page though. Is this possible or I am missing something very basic here?

Hi
Just below the color setting in the css file you are using, add the following line.


background-image: url(your_folder/your_image.jpg);


Change “your_folder” to the folder the image has been saved to, and change “your_image.jpg” to the image file name with the aproporate extention i.e. .jpg, .png, or .gif

Good luck.

I forgot that you are probably going to want the image to tile, if so add this instead.


background-image: url (your_folder/your_image.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;


Sorry.

I think it does that automatically anyway.

Hi MiCCAS,
I know IE does, and most likely FF. But I don’t know about other browsers, especially older ones. And hey, it never hurts to add 100% correct code. 🙂
