Problem with background on webpage?

Question

Hi, I am setting up a website, for which I would require one half of the webpage to be in white, and the other in black. I have tried making jpeg images of this and attempting to make it the background but am having no luck with alignment and size. Could anyone help me out by suggesting a way I could do this? Thanks

I dont know what you mean by "each of them". The webpage is not set in two tables. The background needs to be in black and white, no matter what resolution. It cant be done in tables as I need a centered header image

Answer 1

Here is a solution I put together for you which uses an image and not a table:

The idea is to make a super wide (I used 5000 pixels and the image is only 157 bytes as a 2 colour gif) background image, and use CSS to centre it on the background using the body tag.

Answer 2

Make a 4000 pixel wide, 1 pixel high image where one side of the image, 2000 pixels, is white the other half black and save it as bg.jpg .... This code should work in most CSS compliant browsers.

Answer 3

Well this is depending on how you are setting up your web-site i don't know if you can over-lap tables but you could make two tables any size you need them to be and just make them the colors you desire now to make a table if you don't know how to just go to this tutorial and it will tell you how to make a table

Answer 4

Use a margin fee extremely. A padding is going contained in the element, making it higher, and a margin is going outside the element allowing you to positioned it with out replacing the unique length. Jim

Answer 5

It depends on how your web page is constructed. You might have to specify the bgcolor in each of them. No CSS for this one, also, don't forget the "black" quotes, sometimes, the browser might not render..... details.... code check!
