Web Page Help Needed

**pauland** · 03 February 2008, 10:27 PM

The web page in example 1. Looking at the html used you can see that the background to the post is a html setting on a table. The whole post sits as part of a table. the table has an image as the background.

<TABLE align=center background=http://dl2.glitter-graphics.net/pub/770/770772pnoxg3mkcx.gif border=5>

Your example sets the background image by setting the html page background to be an image, not the table.

<BODY TOPMARGIN="0" BACKGROUND="background_12.gif"

Naturally, this won't work when pasting into a forum.

I'm not sure that really helps.

You could just make the changes using notepad. Give it a go.

i tried changing the code in the notepad, input the same line for the background as in the example, got the same background but still am unable to copy the background. :cry :cry, only things on top of the background get copied.

Thanks pauland for ur help.

pauland if u go to the examples i gave, and try to copy paste even in that the background does not get copied atleast for me it does not. If they had copy pasted then when we do copy paste the background should come as well.

Just wondering if they upload somewhere and then like for image there is a forum code [IMG] could there be 1 to load a html page??

I think you need to speak to someone locally who can look at what you are doing and probably sort things out in a few minutes. If you are going to be sucessful using these methods, you need to understand the basics of how html works.

I suspect that the other people doing cut and paste are lucky because however they produce their page, the software is creating everything they need in a table with a background image. I don't use PI and I don't think it's ideal for producing webpages.

I think that if you persevere or get some local help, you should manage to get what you want.

The table edit should have done the trick for you - I'm sorry there's still a problem.

All I can really do is say "good luck" and stick with it.

I'm not sure why you need to post a huge HTML page with backgrounds and flashing signs in a forum.

Could you clarify what you are doing and why, so that we can try and figure out the easiest way to do what you need.

I agree with Paul, someone is being very lucky with the links to their graphics (that may even be stored in other sub-directories) for it to work properly, and tend to think that the links cannot find the right graphic after being cut and pasted.

Your webpage code

implies that the background is in the same directory as the page code. But since you cut and pasted it, that is highly unlikely. All your other links are URL's.

I would suggest that you check the location of the ="background_12.gif" that you are referencing.

as far as I know you cannot copy a background by just selecting with a mouse, you have to right-click the background image and save it to your computer.

As for the link above about the display of your web-page, as previously mentioned, you have broken links,

either you uploaded the image to the wrong place on the server
or you forgot to upload the images to the server and only uploaded the HTML file

The best way to do this is to work on an HTML file and an "Image" folder where you save all your images into. then upload both the "file.html" and the "Images" folder to the web and that should display right. Now remember "file.html" and "Images" folder should have the same relation on the server as on your computer.

For example, if "file.html" and Images are in the same folder, then keep it the same way on the server, don't put "file.html" in one folder and "Images" in another folder or a sub folder.

I hope that helps
