How to insert background image at the textbox area

[imported_iKwak]

At vbulletin templates.com, you can see light-colored images in the textbox area.
Could the webmaster at vBT teach/share with us on how to do such cool hack (for vb3 Gold)?

Thanks in advance. (Should this go on vb3 Template Requests? I didn't since the hack seems to exist).

It is done with css :).

In the main css area in the style editor find the Input Fields Options and in the Extra CSS Attributes box add this on a new line

background-image: url("path/to/backround.gif");

Thank you.
I'm going to go try it out. :cool:

Actually, no quotes

background-image: url(path/to/backround.gif);

That would be correct.

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:
url("/images/bgdesert.jpg")
}
</style>


this is from my inline style sheet and works well... I use the quotes it never gave me any problems.

Yes however, it will break on older browsers and for vB if you have it saved as file vs in the database.

[Twistedsoulz]

yeah netscape 4.0 and below won't support it... IE 4.0 will though... guess it depends on yoru audience ;)

As i said, if you store your CSS as files it will also break .

[Twistedsoulz]

oh.... i get what you mean.. sorry just started learning... if it is called from the db it won't hurt you.. but if you have the save css as a file turned on it will break ... thanks for the info...
