Background Graphics
Done by modifying the <BODY> tag:
<body background="THE_URL">
or by adding a body style to the style sheet
body { background: url(THE_URL); }
where THE_URL is the location of the graphic
Creating a web page with a colored background can be nice but you can go one step further with a background graphic.
Background graphics are generally small graphics that tile across the browser window to create a filled-in effect. As such, some graphics are better suited to being background graphics than others.
General rules:
- Keep the graphic/text contrast high
- Keep the background graphic SIMPLE -- too much color, too much pattern can make it really hard to read over
- Don't overuse background graphics -- it can become distracting
