Background Picture Position

[Wayne]

Applies to FrontPage 2003

Is there any way to position a background picture in FrontPage so it takes
up the whole web page, by that I mean when the user opens the page in the
browser, the background picture completely fills the entire page.

I've included a picture on a blank page, right clicked it and selected:
Picture Properties

I then clicked: Style, Format .., Position ... and selected the following:

Wrapping Style: None
Positioning Style: Absolute

Location and Size:
Left: -1
Right:
Width: 100%
Z-Order:
Top: -1
Bottom:
Height: 100%

In the browser it fills the top and left sides completely and goes right to
the edge, but I still have a big white margin down the right hand side and
along the bottom - is there a way to stop this and fill the page completely.

Thanks in advance.
Wayne

What a horrible solution....

 

[Wayne]

you clearly have a better solution so instead of moaning just post it to the
group

Forget about resizing background images. Most will not resize well anyhow.

Forget about putting your content into absolutely positioned elements.
You'll live to regret it.

Put the background image on the page (and center it if you feel better doing
it), and build the page out using tables or the normal flow of the code,
whichever you like.
