Web Page Help Needed

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.

Are you asking for help in copying the background from someone else's website? If that is the case you should ask them for permission and perhaps get them to send it to you.

no i am not wanting to take the background from someone's site.

What i want to do is like whats done in the 1st post in this link.
Example 1
http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=851150

Example 2
http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=853386

Its not just a typed post, its been done as a web design, with a background and text and cliparts on the background.

I did manage to make something similar for a newletter whose link i also posted above.
http://pinkykhan.topcities.com/BNL_01/upi4213.htm

This is not someone elses site, this is a sample i made. It has an animated background with text and cliparts on it. What i would like to do is to post that in a forum.

When i asked the person who did the 1st post she told me she makes the web page and then just copy / pastes it in the forum, when i copy pasted the 1 i did the text and clipart shows up but the background does not.

What i would like to do is to put the page i made as a post in the forum, which should show up as a web page (with background / cliparts / text) and not just a normal post.

Thanks for all ur help. Hope i have not confused u more.

Like instead of just this typing a reply, how can we post a designed web page as a post or reply.

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??

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
