PLEASE HELP!! BACKGROUND IMAGES

Replies sorted oldest to newest

Hi,

I recommend a different approach. I think it's better to create a table for the entire template defined portion of the description section and use the picture as background for the table.
<table width="100%" background="http://name goes here"><tr><td>

--template code here--

</td></tr></table>

eBay's code editor tends to strip the <HTML> <HEAD> and <BODY> tags and any inclusive code. Auctiva's submissions do retain the tags, but any use of eBay's revision editor strips them. Very annoying. Frown

Also, using the "BODY" for background is an important eBay policy technical violation, as eBay forbids placing backgrounds or modifying the look of the listing outside the designated description section. This may become even more important with their new listing design and "safe code" zone.

Edit: Sorry got interupted in the middle of typing and goofed the code. There is a method to fix the background with styles.

Danno, tried yours and didnt work probably due to my lack of knowledge. any chance you can spell it out to an idiot.

<table width="100%" background="http://name goes here" [fixed]><tr><td>

--template code here--

<td><tr></table>

Hi,

Between phones calls and a bouncey internet....not a good day.

I threw an example of fixed background and repeat image on the Practice Board that should help.

http://www.practiceboard.com/?9475978

Note, I used a height of 5000 pixels and 100% width of page so you could see the image fixed and loooooog scroll-bar. The text is mid-way down the page.

I see Neil has given you code for a no-repeat background. So, we may have you covered. Smile
