Greetings

I would like to put Background image to fill the space beyond the page. Is this possible with VSD?

Thanks

Yes it is.

Click on "Page" Then "Page Properties" will come up, at the bottom of the dialogue box you'll see "Page Background" and you're able to choose between a gradient, a solid color, and an image.

If you want the image CENTERED, then you'll need to go to "Settings" and then "Background Fill Properties" and select a solid color to fill the space on each side of the background image, on my site that color is gray, just so you'll have an example of what I am talking about:

The ability to do this is a new feature that was just added to VSD 6.06 and I love it!

Tony,

You can use the HTML tool to add style to the head section. Something like this would work:
body {
background-image:url('/img/gen/background.gif');
}

If you use an image that is small this code will by default to tiling it and fill the entire body.

If you you use a large image, it will still tile the image, but it will look like you have inserted several images.

Thank you Chad and Bill

I am still having problems. I am using the HTML tool and adding the following code to the header html tab;

body {
background-image:url('http://www.koryu-uchinadi.us/contents/media/photogray_browser_bg-2.jpeg');
}

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Well, I tried using that link to see the image and I get a 404 error. Are you sure the url is correct?
