2 problems with my site using frontpage

the_music_man · 6 Mar 2004

Hi im using frontpage to make my site and I have 2 problems..

1) its geting hard for me to line up my buttons and then trying to put a GIF to the right of the site. look @ first pic for reference.

2)My background for my site is acting very weird. I want it so the backgrounhd picture is maxiomized b/c if go certain lines down it will repeat the pattern thing.

You shouldn't use Microsoft Frontpage first of all. It's crappy.

Geffy · 6 Mar 2004

you have one major problem which you need to fix first

frontpage

and I am not kidding

well even when i use dreamweaver on my daddies computer it still doesn't work..

its hard putting one Image on one side and the other on the right side.

I'm not sure what you're using to place the images in their respective places, but a good way to do it would be to use CSS positioning. Check out www.w3schools.org for tutorials on this.

thanks so much Netryder. btw i think ur sig is really cool, penguins rock!

Frontpage is your biggest problem. Maybe if you could up your page somewhere, we can have a look at the code.

the_music_man · 7 Mar 2004

ugh i still can't figure it out. i kinda did something cool but I can't get it so the background image is just maximized. it still does the thing where like if i press enter then eventually it will go into a white background...

Off the top of my head ... the problem there is that drum picture. The games button always comes under the drum picture because Frontpage makes terrible code.. You need to start using tables and put your buttons in rows as well as those drums. Also, looks horrible at my resolution (1280x1024) ... it ends up tiling.

BTW, shouldn't this be in the coding and design section?

the_music_man · 7 Mar 2004

yeah i know it ends up tiling, its what im trying to fix. 🙁 also how should i go about making tables...? could you explain b/c im really stupid. and this thread could go under applicaton b/c frontpage isn't working like it should! hehe

the_music_man · 7 Mar 2004

oh i did layer objects and it works out well! thanks!

the_music_man · 7 Mar 2004

ok im still having problems with the background thing

cryogenic · 7 Mar 2004

try this?

I checked w3schools.com... add the following lines of code to your css style under body...

Code:

 {
background-image: 
url("/images/smiley.gif");
background-repeat: 
no-repeat;
background-attachment: 
fixed
}

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

There's the whole page for your perusal. 😎

As pointed out, it's turned into more of a coding question now.
Thread moved to Coding

The CSS code that cryogenic has up there should fix the issues you're having with the background.

the_music_man · 7 Mar 2004

ok i made some adjustments, plz tell me if u like it and if it runs smooth 4 u....

That's better as far as alignment goes... Add the code I posted above to make the bg not tile on higher resolutions. It tiles pretty badly on 1280x1024. I run 1024x768 at home, and it looks ok at that resolution.. but at 1280x1024, it tiles 4 times over.

the_music_man · 7 Mar 2004

k u said put under my CSS style but i dont have a CSS style. what do i do

NetRyder · 7 Mar 2004

Create a file stylesheet.css in Notepad and put the above code in.
Upload the CSS file to the same folder as the HTML files on the web server.
Add the following line to the <head> section of your HTML files:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" title="Default" />
