Hi all -

Sorry if this has been brought up before, I'm new.

I want to mimic this website: www.nbstudio.co.uk.

I would like a rotating background image on every page refresh on the index page.

Can this be done in html/dreamweaver? And how?

Thank you much!

Thats pretty easy to do in in Dreamweaver i believe......Just go into Photoshop and if you have all the images you want for the backgrounds
-In Photoshop make all the background images you want to use same size (the size you want to fill the webpage bg)
-Then in Dreamweaver match each webpage size to the size of the photoshop images you just made
-Make a new page for each background image and simply set the images to the background for each page under page properties.


Sorry if this sounds a little confusing but I hope it helps a little

To actually rotate them you could do a number of things but would require some PHP. The simplest possible thing I could think of (although I don't know enough code to give you the exact code, but someone here should be able to make this system for you no problem) is to have an onpage bit of CSS controlling the BG image. At the bottom of your page a small PHP script that will change the variable to the next url from a list of urls in a text file, or better yet from a database.

Here is a simple rotate.php script that should work:

...all you need do is save it and upload it to same folder as your background image. If you prefer to run the file from a different location you'll need to adjust the $folder = '.'; path.

To be fair, PHP is NOT the only solution. This same thing could be done with javascript or other scripting language, including .Net.

Like what, Ladynred?

I am unfamiliar with PHP anyway.

Thanks all!

Its very easy in javascript if you have a little bit Knowledge of Scripting languages.Check this link
