how do you use an image for your website background using HTML codes?

Question

Im creating a webpage on Notepad using HTML codes and I want to use an image as the background. what is the code for it and is there an ending tag?

its not working. the background i want to use is off a website called entheosweb.com and its a free background that you can use for your site. i put in and then my closing tag is at the end of my body. Why isnt it working

Answer 1

where background is the tag attribute for placing a background image

path is the location of the file, either absolute or relative

filename is the file's name

extension is the indicator for the type of file like GIF, JPG, etc

This will tile a sufficiently small graphic across the background in a horizontal/vertical grid.

Answer 2

When you save the image it automatically saves as a .psd image... you need to go to save as then JPEG or PNG... there are a couple of other, those are the most common.. then choose the highest quality.. the you add it like a normal picture! Hope i helped! PSD images are large because they contain all the layers that you used in your document, so it is good to keep images saved as these incase you decide to further edit them later.

Answer 7

Why isn't it working... to me it's obvious.

You're linking to a page, not to an image.

Images end with .jpg, .gif, .png
