I suggest you learn HTML... to set the background color for a page use the bgcolor atribute on the body tag... it should look like this <body bgcolor="#hexnumberhere"> substitute your own hex # for the one here... say I wanted white... <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> black <body bgcolor="#000000"> blue <body bgcolor="#0000ff"> etc...
hey mate using a bavkgorund image for that type of template is very hard to use. The only way you can set it so you text is where you want to have it is to use tables and make sure the cells are correct width and height to match the background. This is also difficult becuase if you are using a program to make your pages it never looks the same as when it is uploaded. WHAT I SUGGEST IS.... Dont use that backgorund and just use tables on its own. This way you dont need to make sure the cells are same width and all that you can just go with the flow. You can colour cells to create the same effect as the backgorund and its alot easier. Not sure if i can post my website to show you but thats what i have done with mine, all the cells have been coloured rather than an image. (www.alexj17.com)
Your best bet is to make sure the slices are nice and clean on the inside of each content area with a 3-5 pixel margin so the lettering doesn't run-over or distort the alignment. When you slice the file and export it as optimized slices, and html... you will need to look at which pic matches table data tag in the coding. Then you take the img src and apply it as a table data background. Then, you add an Iframe for your content if you want it to expand... or you just just apply paragraph tags, h1-5 or whatever where the img src tag was. Example: Before Code: <table> <tr> <td> [img]images/EyePort2_15.png[/img] </td> </tr> </table> After Code: <table> <tr> <td colspan="3" rowspan="2" background="images/EyePort2_15.png" width="92" height="537" alt=""> <IFRAME SRC="the file replacing this cell.html" NAME="iframe1" FRAMEBORDER="0" SCROLLING="no" WIDTH="100%" HEiGHT="100%"> </IFRAME> </td> </tr> </table> If you use an Iframe like shown above, take the img src code and apply it as a background on a new html file. Then change the src of the iframe to that pages location. You also don't need to apply the img src to the td tag if you use an Iframe. IF you wanna enable scrolling... change scrolling=no to scolling=auto. Hopefully this was somewhat helpful. Oh yah, and so ya know... there is a computer section for things of this nature. Namely, anything dealing with computers.
now that i get the in there how do i get the text where i want it. also im starting to use dreamweaver anybody know any good tutorials for it like how i can make a template on that, seems much easier. so if you have a good tut for dreamweaver can you tell me pls thx ~Josh
If you read my post, you would see the answer on how to add text, but in case you missed it. The Iframe src is a seperate html file with only the bg image for that frame, and a body of text, or pics or whatever you wanna put in there. You can use. <h1> - <h5> or anything like this.
