Just a simple hack. If you use a background image and you don't want it to scroll along with the rest of the page.

In inc_header.asp find the section:


if strPageBGImageURL = "" then
	strTmpPageBGImageURL = ""
elseif Instr(strPageBGImageURL,"/") > 0 or Instr(strPageBGImageURL,"\") > 0 then
	strTmpPageBGImageURL = " background=""" & strPageBGImageURL & """"
else
	strTmpPageBGImageURL = " background=""" & strImageUrl & strPageBGImageURL & """"
end if

Exchange:

strTmpPageBGImageURL = " background=""" & strPageBGImageURL & """"

with:

strTmpPageBGImageURL = " background=""" & strPageBGImageURL & """" & " bgproperties=""fixed"""

and:

strTmpPageBGImageURL = " background=""" & strImageUrl & strPageBGImageURL & """"

with:

strTmpPageBGImageURL = " background=""" & strImageUrl & strPageBGImageURL & """" & " bgproperties=""fixed"""

Done!

how do you get the background image to be central and not tiling itself.....

i.e. I have a small background image - but I do not want it to show only on the left and also it is tiling itself to fill the screen.

any ideas ??

Thanks

that's the way backgrounds work. you can make a large background and place the image in the location you want OR you can create a layer <div> and then position it absolutely on the page. I'd need to see the image and or site you want to do this on to recommend any more.

i think you can try add some CSS code...
maybe something like this..
style=""background-image: url('images/xxx.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position: 50% 50%""

but i have no idea how this integrate into this Mod...

how to change [blue]background=""" & strPageBGImageURL & """"[/b]
to CSS style ????.......

or background-repeat:repeat-y (i think) if you want the image to go only down the left side.

question...

usually the pages occupied by another table display..
so if you put a small bg image on "center" of the page.
we seem not many chance to see this small bg image...

so i think Nikkol's suggest will be better ~~~
try change this
background=""" & strPageBGImageURL & """
to this
style=""background-image: url('" & strPageBGImageURL & "'); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-attachment: fixed""

not sure it will work... there are too many " make me dizzy..
