Jack McKalling Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yes you have to :(Take some site as PhotoBucket or similar :DWhen you've done that, remember the link where it is stored.Then on the document you want the picture at: <html><head><title>My first background</title><style type="text/css">body { background-image:url(your_image_link_here) }</style></head><body>this is my first page, it has my own background image!</body></html> :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-Man Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Of course you'd be better off using an external stylesheet. Also, the layout and theme should work locally as long as you link to their full URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_illusions Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 if you want to put the code in the page, then its in the body tag <body background="whatever.jpeg"> or by using an external css file - body {background-image:url('whatever.jpg')} and thats with the image file in the folder with your page on the server, not a seperate website.
