Hello there!

I got a little Problem with my iWeb. I created two websites so far and for information and basic sharing of pictures, they are quite allright but nothing special (have a go at www.fabiankremser.com or www.tricademy.ch). As a complete beginner I used Templates and changed them - but now I'd like to go one step further. (I've plowed through the FAQ's and didn't find anything there - if I overlooked it I'm sorry!)

I'd like very much to create a browser Background that consists of a picture which adjusts itself to whatever size your browser has. (for example: www.mottolino.com - no matter if you open the website on a small iBook or the big iMac, the picture will always fill out the whole space of the browser and I really dig that! )

Question is - is it possible to create something like that in iWeb? (I got as far as to take a picture for browser-background but the best I could to was to repeat itself over and over and that looked a bit late 1990ies to me...)

I'd be glad for some advice - and since I know that you're very busy, I'm not really pressed for time!

Thanks in advance,

Fabian

Hi Fabian,

that's only possible editing the code post-publishing.

1) In iWeb go to Inspector, Page, Browser background, Image Fill, Original size and choose the image.
2) Publish your website
3) Open the page in TextWrangler and look for this line:



the url certainly is not the same but the rest should be quite similar.
4) Replace that line with the following:



hence remove scroll and add background-attachment: fixed; background-size: 100%;

That should do it. See an example here:

you will have to login entering the following data to see the example:
Username: username
Password: password

Hoffe es ist so wie du es dir vorgestellt hast.

Grüsse,

Hey Cédric!

Thank you for your very fast response - that's exactly what I was looking for! I'll try that out immediately - thank you very much!

Cheers,
