How to get the 'floating' forum feel ?? · **Released**: 11-23-2003

Hi All,

What code is it that lets a forum scroll on a static background like how it is here: http://vbskin.pixicore.com/ ??

Is there any browser pitfalls that will not handle this ...or is there any other pitfalls to consider with this function ??

Thanks for your help and time

Paul

Let me know if it doesn't work.

ok i added this code underneath the BODY {

body {background-img:url("http://www.xbox.v76host.com/forum/images/trindel/tweety_mad.jpg");
background-attachment:fixed;}

I used a mad tweety just to test it, yet nothing shows. Im guessing im putting the wrong code in?

Sorry, just add:

Code:

background-img:url("http://www.xbox.v76host.com/forum/images/trindel/tweety_mad.jpg");
background-attachment:fixed;

Under

Code:

BODY {

Huuuuummmmmmm still nothing

I must be doing something wrong even though im doing exactly as you said.

This is my body tag inside my fonts/colours etc etc

<body bgcolor="#243142" text="#CACFD5" id="all" leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" link="#000020" vlink="#000020" alink="#000020">

Would that effect it in anyway?

Actually it does slow down scrolling especially if you are using the scroll on a scroll mouse. I use to think it was cool untill I noticed how slow it made it when I was browsing my/others forums.

LOL, Sorry Liam I was spelling image wrong

Code:

 background-image:url("http://www.xbox.v76host.com/forum/images/trindel/tweety_mad.jpg");
 background-attachment:fixed;

Will work

MindTrix · #19 11-23-2003, 01:02 PM

lol um still doesnt work, I think i should just give up

ive done everything right so i dont really see why its not working.

assassingod · #20 11-23-2003, 01:03 PM

Strange because I got it working fine on my localhost

Instead of using a full URL, upload the image to your images folder and use {imagesfolder}/filename.gif as the URl

MindTrix · #21 11-23-2003, 01:07 PM

Lol still nothing

Must be something stopping it showing.

This is my head insert code as it looks now

<meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes">
<style type="text/css">
BODY {
background-image:url("{imagesfolder}/jordan.jpg");
background-attachment:fixed;

SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: {categorybackcolor};

I changed the picture to a bigger one so that i would definetly see it if it showed.

Odd no?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
