A background image is giving me the......

If ytou want to take a look at my problem http://dvdquestions.com.au and look at the image/link I have down at the footer html include. The image is like misaligned on half of the pages you visit becauase the background image doesn't line up (with the lines of the link image) and I don't know what to do.

Just change <div align="right"> to <div align="center"> in your footer HTML, if I understand you correctly.

No, I don't think you do.

My background image is a couple of grey lines against a black matte. My image that is in the footer html include also has the same background but when different pages load the lines don't line up between the image and the background image on 50% of pages.

Does that explain?

Ah, that clarifies.

To be honest the image is so dark that I can't even perceive the misalignment you're referring to regardless, at least using 1024x768 res at 16 bpp. And my monitor has very good definition. It simply appears as a flat black.

What are you using to notice this so easily?

Anyway, you shouldn't be using the same image again for the footer. Don't define any background image except in your css BODY class, and it will then allow the body background image to show through in your P,TABLE,TD,TR class

Here's an example...

Code

body { <br />	background-color: #00003f; <br />             background-image: url('/ubbthreads/images/my_background_image.gif'); <br />	border: 0px none; <br />	margin: 0px; <br />	padding: 0px <br />} <br /> <br />P,TABLE,TD,TR { <br />	font-family: Tahoma, Ms Sans Serif, Verdana, Arial, helv, Times New Roman, Times, serif; <br />	font-size: 12px; <br />	color: #ffffff; <br />	font-weight: normal; <br />}

Lemme know if you can get it to work by doing what I mentioned.

Hi

I'm using 1400 x 1050 and it is quite obvious. Maybe you are looking at one of the pages where the lines line up. For me, the search page is out of allignment http://www.dvdquestions.com.au/ubbthreads/search.php?Cat=0 but the callender isn't http://www.dvdquestions.com.au/ubbthreads/calendar.php?Cat=0

I'm afraid I must have the same image in the background of the said image because I need it to be a jpg. Using a gif file type with alpha is not very good quality. png isn't working and nor is tif.

The only place I have mentioned the background image is in the css BODY style, I haven't put it in the html header or footers.
The image I want done there needs to have the same background to it or have transparency but as I said gif, tif and png are no good in this instance.

That just isn't going to be easy to solve unfortunately since the page size isn't fixed.

You'll either need to make it a transparent gif, or make the image background a solid colour.

If you had used vertical lines and not horizontal ones for your background image, the problem wouldn't exist since the width is usually fixed (unless it gets stretched by a large image). But that may not be what you want.

That's what I was afraid of, I can't use my logo now.
