How do I align background image? - 10/2/2004 11:26:30

Hi,

How do I align the background image above to the right so it fills the page horizontally?

It looks fine now at 800x600 but not at 1024x768.

Thanks,
Herman

I have a very clumsy way of accomplishing what you need to do, but I'll save that until somebody with expertise on tiling, positioning or CSS or whatever other method is most efficient.

I'll check back later.

In the meantime, I'm assuming you set that image as a background, instead of inserting it directly into the cell, so that you could put the text over it, rather than working around the image positioning within the cell ?

it is in the background but if you use css then you have something like

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" 
style="background-image: url("images/frederick-header1.jpg");
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-position: top right;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;">

Thanks - CSS positioning worked well as you can see:

welcome. if you chop of that extra white space on the left of the image you can save around 5k :)

Thanks Dave..for pointing out that tip - I would not have reduced it otherwise:-)

Could you help with the alignment of the header image on this site I am working on:
http://www.fvc-home-study.com

It's aligned correctly (left aligned) at 800x600 but not at 1024x768

I want the logo aligned with the menu bar and the header text with the body text.

Thank you
Herman

you need to make the left td a fixed width so it is the same width (including any padding, etc) as the image above it i.e. o it falls where you want it. then let the right td stretch to fill the remaining space.

Could you clarify what you mean..I don't have an image above the header banner, just table rows.

Should I insert a table (with 2 columns) where the banner is and place the banner inside it?
