Does anyone know how to get patterned background on your webpage?

Question

I am learning HTML and for practice I made a web page but I can only add a plain background to it in single color. Is it even possible to add a patterened background ( like a wall paper) on my webpage using html, or do I need something more advanced than that.

Answer 1

When you set a background in HTML it is either a solid color or an image. If its an image it will repeat (tile) automatically. If you are looking for a pattern of colors, you will likely need to save the pattern as an image and then use it as your background. It will then repeat it over the whole page.

HTML Goodies has a great tutorial on backgrounds (link below).
About.com has some free HTML classes too.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

You need to set an image as a back ground the html to insert this is

Answer 3

Use CSS.

...where imagefile is a file containing the image of your pattern like, say something.gif or something.jpg - you'll have to play with images. By default, they start at the upper left and get "tiled" across, left to right, then in rows, down one, and left to right again, etc. You can change the start and tiling using CSS background-position and
background-repeat

Answer 4

maybe if u use frontpage and html at the same time.... then u can change the bg from frontpage and see what changes will happen in the html file
good luck :)
