Add a Background Image to a Page
| You can put a patterned background on your page.
The background is usually a rather small image file that has been constructed in such a way that when it tiles, or repeats across the page, it looks like a seamless wallpaper pattern. |
||
| I prefer tiled backgrounds to background color because
I think they provide depth of field that makes reading a monitor easier
on the visitor's eyes.
However, the background should be unobtrusive; it should have a light and subtle pattern. Choose text and link colors that provide sufficient contrast with the background pattern. Many free graphics sites on the Web provide a wide range of tiled background files. |
||
To add a tiled background texture to your
page, use the BACKGROUND attribute in the opening <BODY> tag.
|
||
| EX: <BODY BACKGROUND="images/ltwd.jpg"> | ||
| where images/ltwd.jpg is the path and file name of the background image. | ||
