Re: FN-FORUM Frontpage and sytle sheet quickie?

BTW that is exactly the same as typing the text into the style sheet
yourself, but slower.

body {
background-image: url(whatever);
background-repeat: repeat whatever;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

Yeah, the fixed stuff only works for browsers that support CSS2 properly
(IE4x isn't reliable on that) which is Opera 5, NN6 and IE5x as far as I
can tell. Do you need FP extensions for the other stuff to work? I must
say that fixed backgrounds make me feel seasick, but that's my weird
eyesight.

I tend to make sure it looks right with valid CSS and passable with no
CSS at all and leave it at that--but I always know what the platform
will be as I only do Help and Intranet sites (MUCH easier!)
