Background Repeat's Down?

[CrashMatRob]

I think it might be a little difficult to see what I've done wrong looking at the link above, so I have put all the files
on a NAS Drive in a zipped file, (will only work while my router is switched on)

Hi Rob

Try this

Cheers Drwyd,
I have looked at what you've taken the time to do,
done what you said and put the code in the head
but after copying the background then bring it back
I now get a white border around it, a bit like a page shadow.
Then when I use it has a background it tiles horizontally, (thou it's stopped tiling down)
I will continue to play with it and try to figure out what's going wrong.

Many Thanks
Rob

Make sure there are no shadows, borders etc. applied before you copy the bitmap.

Edit: To make it look like yours example it will have to be tiled horizontally.

Thanks again Drwyd
Slowly getting there but still having a few problems with it, i.e the transparency just cannot get it to look quite right.
I'm just learning a little at a time.

Cheer's for your help

As a variation, I would make a longer tile than you intend to go, then tile this as the page background. (Create the tiling image in the Bitmap Gallery and click Background. This applies the fill to the page.

When you preview, the page background tiles to fill the screen.

Thanks gwpriester for your input,

I had a look at the file you attached but when I preview it in I.E or Firefox, it had the same problem I started with,
"zoom out of the page (Ctrl+mouse wheel) then you can see the background has repeated down the page"

Not sure why I need to add the transparency, that was never my intention, I thought by Drwyd reply that what I should do?

I am beginning to think, because I have a textured fill in the lower section, is why it don't look right, i.e 2 shades of brown.
I have attached a file, not sure if I've done it right, perhaps someone will let me know.

Many Thanks
Rob
