gradient images in design view

L

I've found a code to make gradient images for my page:
<body
style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#d2bf9e',
startColorstr='#3a260e', gradientType='0');">

However, you can only see it in preview and not design view. I would like
to view it when I design it.
Does anyone know how I can see my gradient background in design view

I don't know the specific answer (don't use FP), but I would think this is a
"IE Only" thing and won't be seen in other browsers (or poor representation
of it at best). That's the first thing you should consider.

2nd, thing is you should do gradients etc, on image and apply these to the
image in an image editor, not in FP.

I just wanted to have it for the background instead of the image, so it will
fill the page regardless of screen size and length. If I use it as an
image, everyone will have to view it a certain size.
Thanks,

As Andrew said, the CSS filter will only work in Internet Explorer. It
will not display in FrontPage design view. As a choice for a background
image the filter is not a good one.

Use a gradient in an image - this will have to be at least 1600px wide,
but may be as little as 2px high. The image will tile vertically as a
background image.
