jessa -> watermarks (10/9/2001 23:06:00)
I'm trying to insert a watermark on each of my pages. It shows up at the bottom of the page off-centered, is there any way of moving and resizing a watermark? If so, please give me detailed instructions. Thanks for any help! Jessica

rdouglass -> RE: watermarks (10/9/2001 14:53:00)
This one works pretty well, however it only works with IE4+ and NS6+. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/fixback.htm

jessa -> RE: watermarks (10/9/2001 15:18:00)
I'm not sure how that is supposed to work. I tried that, it still will not let me move the background picture and it moves with the scrolling. Please help, I really want to add this to my pages to make it more company personalized. Thanks! Jessica

rdouglass -> RE: watermarks (10/10/2001 20:36:00)
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood what you wanted. IIRC a watermark stays put on the screen and the text / graphics / etc. flow (or scroll) as normal while the watermark stays stationary. Can you explain more and / or provide a URL for clarification?

jessa -> RE: watermarks (10/10/2001 20:42:00)
Is it possible to resize and move the watermark the center of the page? I have tried everything I can think of. Also, my watermark moves along with the scroll, and are you able to replace your theme after you have inserted the watermark? Thanks!

Watermarks are not compatible with Netscape. They will tile down the page and usually look pretty bad. To insert one anyway, go to Format > Background and click on the watermark box. You cannot truly center a watermark because people will be viewing the site at different resolutions. What is centered at one resolution will not be centered at another.

Well, I do beg to differ, Sandy. From my experience, this one DOES center reguardless of screen resolution and DOES work with Netscape 6 (notice the check in the code). Click the link and try it out. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/fixback.htm It is relatively simple code (isn't that usually the best) that goes like this: (I'll leave credits in place) <script language="JavaScript1.2"> /* Watermark Backgound Image Script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com) For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and TOS, visit dynamicdrive.com */ if (document.all\|\|document.getElementById) document.body.style.background="url('myImage.jpg') white center no-repeat fixed" </script>

Thank you rdouglass, but I used that code and nothing changed it still didn't let me resize or move. Now what do I do?

rdouglass -> RE: watermarks (10/10/2001 23:48:00)
Maybe I'm still unclear as to what you're trying to do...you DID say 'watermark' didn't you??? Some Q's that may help clear it up: Do you have a URL we can look at? Are you using a compatible browser?? Do you need it positioned somewhere specifically and do you not want it to move? Or instead of a watermark, are you trying to place a logo somewhere on the window or trying to use a repeating watermark-like image as a background?? You maybe want to be using a table for positioning or working with a background image instead of a watermark. If exact positioning is an issue, try inserting a table and use your image as the background of the cell where you want it positioned. Then you'll still be able to put text / other images in front of your background image... Hope this helps...

Thank you again rdouglass, I inserted a table with our logo in it. How am I able to move the table, that wouldn't work for me either. My site isn't published yet, so you aren't able to look at the pages, are you? Please, let me know what I can do to center the logo. Nothing I do seems to be working out!!! Jessica

Gil -> RE: watermarks (10/10/2001 17:05:00)
Jessa, use the code rdouglas posted above. Using the logo's file name, no tables or anything ------------------ Gil Harvey The Host Factory Resellers are our speciality "Indecision may or may not be my problem"
