Another would be to use an image like on this page http://www.expression-web-tutorials.com/quilting-blue/ It really depends on what you want to do with the page. pat

For many years, the Freepages-Help list has been the more active of the two lists. The variety of experience represented by the members of this list addresses almost all questions, from the most basic, to very advanced, as well as differences among not only RootsWeb servers, but other hosts as well. Many Freepages users also have accounts on other RW servers. List names can not be changed, and various lists (and their archives) can not be combined. Pat Asher
May I suggest a change to the mailing list ... Since it is apparent Rootsweb has already enacted the change, can the listserv be changed from FreePages-Help to Website-Help ... With the difference in server structure and permitted use of the space, the specific type of account makes a difference to the assistance provided. (Eg. 'Can *.ged files be loaded to my website?' Yes, or No depending on the account.) I am at a loss as to why rootsweb-help and freepages-help are mixed, but they are.

If he puts the styling for the site in an external style sheet and attaches the style sheet to each page then there is no need for any kind of special code. His pages can simply contain the html code and all the styling will appear in his style sheet and the pages will pick it up. If he decides he wants to change the top background color, all that is necessary is to generate a new background image, change the reference to it in his style sheet and upload the new image and style sheet. Every page the style sheet is associated with will then reflect the change. pat
Try adding the missing ";" at the end of the first line of styles of the body tag in your css file. Note the missing semi-colon after the color #fffff.

Using FrontPage 2000, it looks good in Normal view, but when I change to Preview, the banner is not there. Can someone tell me what is wrong? ..." Here's how I would do it. 1. You're already using an external(?) CSS file. In that file (say, style1.css) I would create a div for the banner -- after defining the body, like so: #banner { /* pound sign defines a div */ width: 100%; /* to take full window width */ height: ? ; /* may not be needed */ background: #7CE url('/images/azur2.jpg') repeat-x; /* I'd put it in the images folder */ background-repeat: repeat-x; /* repeats image horizontally */ background-color: #7CE; /* light blue */ text-align: center; /* centers any text */ /* font: Calibri, 120%, boldest; (if different from body) */ } Aside: A previous responder asked about putting the background image in the same folder as the file. Not necessary; it's only important that the path to the image be correct from the calling file's location. If, for example, the calling file is in a sub-directory, add two leading dots to the path, as in "url('../images/azur2.jpg')"; from a sub-sub-directory, "url('../../images/azur2.jpg')". 2. Create an included file, banner.htm, for banner text and other graphics. This file need not have all the bells and whistles, as it will only be called from within each page. It might have only <.p style="font-size: 120%; font-weight: boldest;" Jim's banner <.img src="images/logo.jpg" style="float: right; " > <./p> 3. Then, put into each page: a. In head section: <.link REL="StyleSheet" HREF="style1.css" TYPE="text/css"> <.!-- Loads the stylesheet --> b. As first item in body section: <.div id="banner"> <!-- Each "id" can be used only once per page --> <.!--#include virtual="banner.htm" --> <./div> (As is the convention on this list, HTML statements are preceded by leading dots; remove to activate. CSS comments enclosed by /* & */.) Most frequent problems with SSI includes: * Paths to included files MUST be totally correct. Any error will yield "[an error occurred while processing this directive]". * Some servers require HTML files using SSI to have the exension .shtml, to signal the server to parse the SSI statements. Final aside: FP2000 does not support SSI includes well. It won't load banner.htm into your preview. You should, however, see the effect of the CSS. My approach: Upload to server and view immediately with browser.
