How big to make the background - 4/12/2004 19:01:53
I have a really neat border for my site that I just upgraded encompassing a topo map. In order for it not to repeat vertically I added white canvas to make the width 1200 pixels.
Is this enough width? or is there a way to make sure it doesn't repeat for anybody using a resoulution that is larger than "X" x 1200.
You can see the background at www.akhs.atfreeweb.com
BTW: Does Netscape still not accept fixed or watermark code for background? I only view in 4.5 and it sure does cramp my creativity.
Thanks for the help: Bill

just make it as tall as you want and get rid of all the extra space at the right by using
body {
background: white url("pendant.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
in your stylesheet
newer versions of netscape are fine -
why would you only (or should i say 'even') view it in NN4.5? validate your code first and foremost
http://validator.w3.org:8001/detailed.html
then do a browser check in NN4.5 (if you feel it's necessary) NN7, mozilla/firefox, opera, oh and maybe explorer ;)

Thanks! I just did a revamp of my css putting more stuff in so it will be a jif to add.
I have netscape 4.5 just for a looky see....last time I upgraded it, it really messed up my computer so I won't take a chance. When I started doing web design in 2000, netscape and Ie were about 50/50. I wonder what the user ration is these days.

btw - you shouldn't put the html comments in your style sheet
<style>
<!--
and
-->
</style>
nn4 is currently at around <1% (generally) , but if you have a significant number of people using it to view your site then you might want to be more bothered about it

I meant Netscape in general.

Oh! I missed that...thanks.
BTW: the border is working great. I checked it at work where I use a higher resolution. Thanks!!!

Thanks!! You played a big part in it.
Yeah! I always hated those icons (which I scanned off of a map). I learned a few things in Photoshop so I decided to create my own. I used topo software to make the border.
When I get back from vacation, I'm going to review all pages, remove a lot of the formatting and hook it into my new css page.
PS: It's no harder to hike here than anywhere else so if you ever get a mind to come up, you know you have a free guide.
PSS: My latest Backpacker Mag talks about Escalante. That sure looks like a cool place to hang out.

Your site really looks good with that topo background.
However, I have to scroll left and right to see the whole page.
Haven't looked at your code but somewhere on Outfront there is a post that says to set tables at 100% width to have users avoid scrolling.

Sorry it took me so long to reply back to you but I just got back from vacation.
I'm not noticing this problem. Most, if not all of my table are set to no specified width so (ipso facto -100%).
Are you noticing this on all my pages or just a particular one. What resolution are you viewing it at?
