Topic: Tell me why my bkgrnd image isn't working

http://jaydubdesign.com/John-gif.html

This should work fine. But it ain't. Explanations are needed to prevent me from losing my sh*t entirely for having dropped $50 on something that is not working...

First i tried my bgimage as a repeating gif. That is, of course, the best way to go but it didn't work. Then I tried a massive bgimage jpg. This is, of course, the stupidest way to go. And it still didn't work.

No satisfactory answers in the forum at present. Help needed...

Re: Tell me why my bkgrnd image isn't working

If you wish to have an image tiled as your gallery's background, then you can set it via CSS and set your gallery's background to be transparent as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>SimpleViewer-Pro Gallery</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body {
        background-image: url('brownpaper.jpg');
        background-repeat: repeat;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED.-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    simpleviewer.ready(function () {
        simpleviewer.load('sv-container', '100%', '100%', 'transparent', true);
    });
    </script>
    <div id="sv-container"></div>
    <!-- END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->
</body>
</html>
