Alright, what would you like?

**Thorgal** · February 18th, 2002

Ok, here's the thing: I need to know what kind of webdevelopment-related stuff you guys are most interested in, as I've got a page where I'd like to put some 'goodies' online. Tutorials, tips, techniques, links, whatever..

I have to note here though, it won't be a big site or anything, it's more like an 'extra section on the side' of another site which I cannot disclose yet. So I'd like to have some general tips on what I should put online; and I don't care about quantity, I do care about quality. So, any suggestions?

But u will make this webdevelopment page for ppl who already understand a little about it....or for everyone who is interested in ???

**Thorgal** · February 18th, 2002

it'll actually be a 'goodies' section, ie. that includes any kind of helpful resource, wether it's for newbies or the more experienced.

I would prefere more advanced stuff, and I know you have graphics skills so some tutorials in that area would be great, maybe some design basics for those out there starting out. This seems to be an area most people always ask about, and seem to lack in when starting out. I will think of some more later

Perhaps various Java or DHTML tricks such as splash screen effect....mouse trailers...etc...

GopherBroke · February 19th, 2002

I agree with Keith on the graphics thing - I could always use some more PhotoShop tutorials

. Also, this idea is quite specific, but I'm making a new version of the Against All Odds site and I wanted text to scroll on a static background. I'll post a pic later of what I mean

(hopefully i don't have to use frames....)

**Thorgal** · February 20th, 2002

Alright, thanks for the comments so far guys

GopherBroke: I'm not sure if/when I'll put up a tutorial of that, so I'll just help ya out here

You should have something like this:

PHP Code:


			
<style type="text/css">

text {background-image: url("image.gif"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed}

</style>

Put that in the <head> tags. Then add style="text" to the td or whatever tag you want to put the text in; you'll get the idea. Since you said you didn't want to use frames, this would be the best way to go. Ofcourse, you could also replace 'text' with 'body', then the bg of the whole page will be static. Hope that helps.

I agree to Keith also. Some advanced stuff would be nice and some PS-Tuts maybe.

Okay, Thorgal. I used your supplied code, but I must be doing something wrong. Check ou this link: www.asherpunk.com/asher/ Little things have to be changed, like darkening the background pic, but the major thig is getting the text to scroll on that photo. I know there's hardy any text, but check out my source, if you could, and let me know whats wrong. Thanks, Thorgal.

Woops, my bad. One small thing: add a period before text {etc} , ie. .text {etc}

otherwise it would only work with a html tag called text, which doesn't exist

Also, what's base target="text" at the end of the header all about, if I may ask?

Actually I don't know what that was at the end of the header, so I removed that. And I changed some of the code as per your instructions, but I'm still not getting the desired result. Check back at www.asherpunk.com/asher I've added more text just to se if it would work, but no... So if you could lend a helping hand again I would appreciate it.

Ah, I see what the prob is; I don't think there's any other way to do this without frames though. Even though you set the table at a height of 300, all the text would still make html ignore that and use up the space that's necessary (which is definitely more than 300px). The site structure is rather easy though, so frames aren't really difficult here. For the middle frame, simply put this between the style tags in the head:

PHP Code:


			
body {background-image: url("images/aao3.gif"); background-attachment: fixed}

yeah, that's without a period; I also cleared the 'no-repeat' part as I forgot it had to be repeated

You don't need to set anything else...
