Repeating Banner in web page

ychange · March 11th, 2007, 02:00 AM

This page http://www.ychange.com/thinkteambio.html was coded by someone in Dreamweaver several years ago and I am trying to add some text to it and the blue banner from the top repeats after about 100 lines. You need to scroll down about 100 lines to see the problem. Please tell me what is wrong. I think it has something to do with line 47 in the HTML code.

Hi there,

Please don't cross-post. Posting your message once is more than enough to get attention.

I think your problem lies in the background image of your page. You have a thin, but very long background image that repeats horizontally (to create the background of the header). However, when the page is really long, the same image is repeated vertically as well.

You can change the <body> tag to something like this:

<body .... your stuff style="background-image: url
(images/back.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x;" rest of your stuff ">

This way, the image will only be repeated horizontally.

Additionally, you could move the entire declaration for the body tag to a separate CSS file and include that instead.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks Imar. After lots of tries I just inserted the code without the parens and it worked.
