He'd like to take this layout that i put together --> http://www.xaos21.com/site1/about.html and use this as the background instead of the gray --> http://myspace.mytheme.com/myspace-background/415912-11101274716414.gif I've struggled trying to incorporate the gif, but no matter what i do, it always ends up looking tiled. Can anyone make a suggestion? And i'd like to just tell him that it's going to look tiled no matter what I do, but i wanted to exhaust all my avenues before telling him. thanks! _____________________________ You look like you're about to do something stupid.

A number of sites with background images that do tile where you might find something suitable: - http://www.allfreebackgrounds.com/backgrounds.html - http://www.backgroundcity.com/index.html - http://www.grsites.com/ (a good one I've used a lot - I ended up getting their CD of all the different textures and backgrounds they have) (there's another good one I've used in the past but I can't remember the site name, and I can'r find where I filed the bookmark - I'll have a root around. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to lilblackgirl)

For starters it's over 100kb and will slow the page down like crazy. Have you tried using a small corner of it and tiling that? < Message edited by jaybee -- 1/6/2007 10:55:21 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
