Homepage Exercise: Background Tiling

Image Formats | Creating Images | Changing Format | Transparent Backgrounds | Background Tiling | Animated GIFs | Image Resources | Screen Captures | Going Further

In another exercise we saw how to add a color background to your homepage. If you wish, you may use this exercise to use an image (in GIF or JPEG format) to "tile" the background of your homepage. By this, we mean that the browser takes an image and uses it to cover the background of a page by repeating the image as many times as required. Any text and images displayed on that page then appear against this tiled background.
