Hi all,
I was wondering if someone knew how those site do the background streching, i mean on the vertical, it streches only one color. Its hard to explain, but look at the vertical, not horizontal. I know that on the horizontal, it tiles on the x-axis.
For example : <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.torrentspy.com">www.torrentspy.com</a><!-- w -->
When you go on that site you see, you that the background stretches. But here is the back picture that the use
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.torrentspy.com/gfx/body_bg.gif">http://www.torrentspy.com/gfx/body_bg.gif</a><!-- m -->
How does they do it?
Is there a css property for that ?
Thanks,Not stretching, tiling. Use background-repeat:repeat-x;Look carefully
its not tilling ... i know its tilling on the x
but im looking on the vertical
it seems to strech only the blue part and not the whole background image.Well I tried to see how they were accomplishing it for you but their source is such a mess that I can barely read it, let alone find what I wanted. There is no stretch command however.The pages background colour is the same as the lower blue....Bathurst_guy is right, the background color is the same as the lower blue part of the image. Give this bookmarklet a run on the website.
javascript:void(function(){document.body.style.backgroundColor="white";}())Well that's what I assumed also, but when you right click and choose save background as it tries to save as a gif. That's what led me to believe it was a gif.Well that's what I assumed also, but when you right click and choose save background as it tries to save as a gif.

That is because you can save any background image used with the body regardless how big it is without even right clicking it directly.

</html>The background image isn't stretching. The background image is repeated across (repeat-x) and the background color is set the same as the bottom line of the background image.:O thanks alot guys.
Finally solved my question.
Big Thanks!
