XXP5: controlling background tiling in web page?

**Spinny** · 31 December 2009, 10:32 AM

I searched and didn't find this discussed anywhere; apologies if I missed it.

So, when I create a web page and use a bitmap image for the background, the default behavior is to tile in both x and y; the CSS for the body style comes out like this:

Code:

<body style="background-image:url('mypage_html_files/0.png')">

What I want to do is have the image only repeat on the x axis (or not repeat at all), and have an actual background color specified to be displayed beyond the image boundaries. An example might look like this:

Code:

<body style="background: #000000 url('mypage_html_files/0.png') repeat-x">

Is there currently any way to specify this short of hand-hacking the HTML? If not, what are the chances of the ability to specify these parameters being added to a future build?

Many thanks!

Sorry about that. Since they've been merged into one application I wasn't clear on the distinction.

Sure, no problem. Create the <head> placeholder with following code (as for your second example):

Code:

<style type="text/css">
body {background: #000000 url("mypage_html_files/0.png") repeat-x}
</style>

Also, if you have set the background image in the original design it would be easier to use following:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
body {background: #000000 repeat-x}
</style>

Distressingly simple. Many thanks again. I'll go put on my dunce cap now.
