sliding forums???
 

i would like to make my forum page slide, id like to use the default style however make the forum slide over a background image that stays still, also keeping the forum fluid.
what would be the best way of going about this and what would be needed? is there a mod for this or a style already made using the default blue style slide with background still image and in fluid?
i did look through the styles and couldnt find what i was after and couldnt find a mod to make this,
any ideas would be very helpfull and thank you in advance.

What you want is a 'static background'. Google it and you come up with this sort of tag:
So, upload your background image, go to the Style Manager and edit Main CSS. Change the body class there to change these properties.

lynne thank you for the fast reply, and thank you that is very usefull, i was trying to think of the correct term, was thinking sliding lol but yes static background make sence,
very helpfull and thank you again

edit:
oh before i forget, would this allow the pituce to be fluid as well? so it would crop the background picture if the screen res is less than the bacground picture res??

I can't really answer that since I have never used this sort of style on my site and don't know exactly how it acts for different users/browsers. I think you just need to try it and play with it to see.

ok now what i have been told is using your code would be good, but i want to add the picture so it sit down the forum left edge and be about 400 pixels wide,
and so using the code lynne posted above how would i make the picture stay on the forum background left side edge ?

i am still learning this stuff as far as modifying templates and so on. and so if any one would have code to do waht i was after that would be awsome.
