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

IIRC you would use in the headinclude template (or if you're using vB3 the body CSS bit in the Style Mananger)

Code:

background-attachment:fixed;

When I tried this, my users complained that it slowed their browsing down.

I don't think it makes that much difference

Beeing a noob what does IIRC mean?

Also do you have to have an image as your background for this to work?

assassingod · #6 11-23-2003, 11:51 AM

If I Recall Correctly

Yes (Using CSS though)

How do you mean using CSS?

I thought you would just set an image as your background and then chuck that code you posted up there in the headinclude template.

Another stupid question, im guessing this makes the image stay in the same place?

Andddddd one last note to admins here etc, dont you think assassingod should be made a mod or something here? He's always helping out pretty much every person who asks for help and is always active.

Just my thoughts thats all.

When I mean CSS I mean using:

Code:

body {background-img:url("yourbgimg.gif");
background-attachment:fixed;}

In the headinclude template you said. IIRC You can't use the background-attachment:fixed; if you are using <body background="yourbgimg.gif">

And yes, it stops the image from moving along with the rest of the page (I believe it's popular with people who use blogs)

Ok. At the moment my background is just erm a blue colour. But if i chuck the above code into my headinclude, it should work fine? Sorry for beeing dumb

Yeah, add it under:

Code:

BODY {

(IIRC)

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