Non-Scrolling Background?

B

Bob L

I develop and maintain a website with FP 2000 and I'm in the process of
adding a picture background to the pages that use the default website theme.
I'd like the picture to be centered (i.e. no tiling) within the browser
screen and not scroll when the page is scrolled. First, how is this done,
and second, is there a way to do this globally?

It's done with CSS -

body { background-attachment:fixed; }

You could do it globally by linking every page to an external stylesheet
that contains that style.

I am not sure how this would interact with your theme....

I've seen this mentioned before but I'm not sure exactly what that means.
The website mostly uses a theme that I modified from a standard theme and
then saved to a different name. Within that theme, I use CSS. Is that what
you mean by CSS? When I edit the Theme, I selected the background file I
want. Is that all I need to do within the Theme dialogs?

When you say external style sheet, I assume I develop that from Format |
Style and then modify the "body" through "format", "border" and then
"shading". I then select the background file, etc. in the "Patterns"
section. Is that correct?

As you can probably tell, I need very specific instructions!

Jup - that's the ticket.

I think so.

Sounds right to me.

You did a pretty good job on your own. Go for it!

To do it w/i the theme CSS use
Modify the Theme to add the "watermark" style:
Format | Theme | Modify | Text - select More Text Styles
Select the body tag and then Modify | Border | Shading and select
Repeat - select no-repeat
Attachment - select fixed
Vertical Position - select center
Horizontal Position - select center
OK|OK|OK|OK & Save As a new theme name

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your post.

According to your description, I know that you want to create a fixed
background image on a Web page in FrontPage. If I misunderstood your
concern, please feel free to let me know.

First, thanks for Murray's help on this issue.

As Murray suggested, you may created by using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
in FrontPage.

Based on my research, I would suggest you refer to the following article in
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

317333 HOW TO: Create a Fixed, Centered Watermark Using Cascading Style
Sheets
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=317333

Hope the information helps. Please update me with the result at your
earliest convenience. I look forward to your reply.

Regards,

Ada Pan

Yes
- apply the theme using CSS




| Those changes should apply to all pages that use the Theme, right?
