Gradient backgrounds

[hidden]

The trend seems to be going to gradient background on sites. CSB only has tools to put in solid page colors. Is there a code to generate gradients?

Pirate, I think in CSB you make the image gradient on your graphics program then insert it. Most of them do it easily.

Then my problem becomes putting wallpaper over it. Everytime I use an image background I'm relegated to using csb's site designs which I don't use.

Hmmm - I am not really sure I understand what you are saying but, I never used a standard template from CSB and if I wanted a gradient background image I would create it, compress it and size it to the page frame and insert it. I bet Sam - who is nearly a mind reader - - will know what you mean and if I am replying incorrectly set us both straight!

Well, in my case i design my own wallpaper. The wall paper is inserted like a background image by either inserting code or using the insert> background image function of CSB's page properties. Either way.. if you insert another image it wipes out the wallpaper.

You can have only ONE background image.
I usually use the CSB PAGE PROPERTIES, Browse to the image and load it in.

If you want a background image in your TABLE so that it appears to have a layered look, it must be done manually. Please view this page for samples AND instructions.  EASY.

Bottom image (furthest behind) is put into the CSB page properties (or using code when necessary)
2nd layer (laying on TOP of the background image) is made by defining a table with an image background.
Then you can turn on/off borders of the tables and turn on/off cell colors of the tables to create the look you want.

KNOWN LIMITATION of the trick demonstrated on the page linked above:
Can not put a background image into a table that is INSIDE A TABLE without hand coding the full table as seen in this page.

Awesome. Thanks.
