colonelby Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hye, I've noticed that it is possible to change the traditional green background on a cache page to one of your own pictures. How do you do this? Quote Link to comment
+CurmudgeonlyGal Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 You need to click on the little box that signifies your cache description is written in html code and then add a background tag as the first line of your cache description. <BODY BACKGROUND="http://www.yourimageserver.com/pathforphoto/photoname.jpg"> -=- michelle Quote Link to comment
Snipe33 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Thanks for posting this. I always wondered about that too. Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Now to find an interesting background...... Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Just please don't put moving images in it. Some of us find the spinning arrows, jumping tiggers, parading elephants etc. to be very distracting. Please pass the cheese and crackers. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Before this blossoms into another full-blown "how do I do this...." topic, let me provide a link to bons' post in the FAQ Topic that's pinned at the top of this forum. bons created a webpage that shows you how to do many of the common html thingies to dress up your cache pages.

+garri Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 (edited) I write some HTML code for chosing the color background of the main white table of one of my cache pages. write this code before cache description </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" height="32" background="image.jpg"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000000"> This means: Close a white cell, create a new row with a image file as background, close this row, create another row with a color background (#000000 is black). The paramete 'height="32"' is the height choosed of the image And please don't forget to add the next code for reestablish the web after your description text. </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" height="32" background="image2.jpg"> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> You can avoid some code if you only want to change the backcolor of the white table (no images). Before cache description text, write: </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000000"> And at the end: </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> Edited April 15, 2004 by garri Quote Link to comment
