Static Background / Scrolling Forums

[HLodder]

All,

Been looking at another forum which was www.aliensoup.com and they have a great looking board with a static image in the background while forums that you can happily scroll up and down the screen while the background stays solid.

I am not sure what this would actually be called to describe this effect so I cannot search on it, but has anyone seen anything like that here?

Many thanks.

Harvey.

I suggest viewing the source code and try to find it for yourself or you can always google 'static background'

edit the Head insert template and edit the body section of the style bit change the background bit to something like:

background: #FFFFFF url('http://www.domain.com/forums/images/backg.jpg') no-repeat fixed;

change the url to the image you want as your fixed background... the important part is "no-repeat fixed" *g*

Note, that this causes scrolling to seem a lot more laggy, and your pages would be hell for people with slow processors. I know, because one of my styles used that feature until my users started complaining.

Also, for reference, FrontPage calls this option "watermark"... How "watermark" = "fixed" is beyond me, but hey, it's only Microsoft.
