Adding a background color
|
|
To change the color of the background, you include a BGCOLOR attribute to the BODY tag, specifying the color in hexadecimal code. |
| Here is an example: |
|
| The hexadecimal code "#ffffff" used in HTML to indicate colours. |
| This will give you a WHITE background. |
|
| Here are some examples of colour: |

| Adding a background image |
| The code for adding a background image file is:
|
| <body background="filename.jpg">
|
|
|
| The background image will scroll when the user scrolls down the page. You can set the background to be fixed by adding bgproperties="fixed".
|
| It looks like this: |
| <body background="background1.jpg" bgproperties="fixed">
|
|
