Hi,

I've just started with dreamweaver (been reading a quickstart book) and I'm gonna try my luck at making a webpage

I've hit my first hirdle and I appreciate it if anyone can help.

I want to make a background for my page which repeats a picture along the top of the page - But I want it to stay at the top of the screen even if the user scrolls down the page, but still in the background. How can I do this?

Sorry I'm not very good at explaining this, after a LOT of hunting I eventually found a page that does sort of what I want at this website .

I tried putting backgrounds in all sorts of ways but It always scrolls with the page

Thanks for help in advance peeps! (unfortunately I may be coming here quite a lot - sorry )

I don't know a lot about dreamweaver, but if you are comfortable going into your code and changing that, I can help you.

For your page background, you sould see something that looks similar to:

body {
some stuff here;
}

If that is the case, do this:

body {
some stuff here;
background-image:url("your-image.gif");
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:top;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}

I'll explain:
"background-image:url("your-image.gif");" tells the page where to find your image
"background-repeat:repeat-x;" tells the page that your image is to repeat horizontally
"background-attachment:fixed;" says your image will be there, even if you scroll
"background-position:top;" Your image is at the top
"background-color:#FFFFFF;" is the color of the rest of the page, below the image

Hope I could help you,
Micah
