<TABLE width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="URL">
<TR>
<TD>Put your page stuff here</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

You can use any image you want for background, and it will tile itself. Go to the Admin Moderator's about page to see an example.

If you can tell me how to get javascript onto my about page, I can do direct links to listen live broadcasts for radio. I have a few there already.

GO GOLDEN STATE !

What "quotes"? Someone please go to my "about" page and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Picture addresses and URL links are always included between quotes after an equal sign.

[Renfield]

Would you be so kind as to copy the script from your "about" page, and paste it into a reply (or private reply, if you prefer), so I can see by example?

[easonc52]

You just need to put a left arrow '<' before 'table' and replace the letters 'URL' with the jpg address (don't include the single quotes ').

Let me know.

I did test it with your picture, and it worked (although I don't know if it's the effect you're after).

I will help you out, although I do have to go out for about 20 minutes.

Before you posted this reply, I tried exactly what you just described, but instead of a background picture, all I got on my "about" page was the URL.

What's a profile page?

Oops !!! You forgot to include * GeekDejure * within your "an enemy of Islam" list...

But Don't Worry... It's Oak Hay... I Forgive You...

Just Don't Let It Happen Again !!! ;-))

[easonc52]

I just got back. Give me a few minutes to check it out and I'll get back to you.

Self rightous ping.

[Hank Rearden]

This is very cool!

Of course, all I wanted to do was tile a white square.

Works great, though.

[Renfield]

I went to your "about" page and it's mine. Way cool. Rub a little of that magic on me.

[easonc52]

I was trying it out. What I found was that if your picture is used as the background as is, you can't read your text.

I don't know if you saw it with the text on the picture, or if you saw it with the text above the tiled picture.
