Simple one this time... on the official matrix website the background consists of a picture that repeats across the top only rather than mosaic repeatition. The rest of the background is just a default colour

anyone know what i mean? anyone able to help with some code? I cant find it in the source of the website

Hey J,

Paste this into your <BODY> tag:

STYLE="background-repeat:no-repeat"

Alternatively if you want it to just repeat vertically / horizontally then:

STYLE="background-repeat:repeat-x"

or

STYLE="background-repeat:repeat-y"


Sorted.

hrm i have:

style="background-color:#E5E5E5; background-image:url(/images/footer/backyay2.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top;"

but its not working properly. Atm nothing appears with that. If I edit out the style and delete the bg color then the image shows scaling the top only (altho it clips atm, but that can be remedied in photoshop)

Have you tried mixing old/new, like this:

<body BGCOLOR="#E5E5E5" BACKGROUND="/images/footer/backyay2.jpg" STYLE="background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:top;">

Am I getting the wrong end of the stick again ?

Can you put up a page somewhere to show whats happening and explain what you want to happen ? Then we can experiment for you.

I will take a look at the mxo site and see what code they use: remember View Source is your friend!

I honestly have not done this before, and they may be using a weird technique to do it so, ill take a look after I finish this web work I have to do.

Also I think Veube is on the right track, but then again i've yet to experiment with that style of background ^_^
