hOW TO change background to a image

[vitinho444]

Hey guys, i want to make my game more pretty, how can i add a image to the background of all pages?

[rockinliam]

Code: Select all

body{
        background-image:url('image.jpg');
}

[vitinho444]

i put that where?

Just in case you haven't realised, the snippet of code Vitinho444 gave you is CSS, so you'll probably want to put in in a CSS file.

Since you want it to appear in every page, I suggest linking to the CSS file from your connect.php, assuming you include connect.php in every page.

That should clear things up a bit. If you want me to clarify more, just ask.

[vitinho444]

well, so i just need to add that to style.css?

then i need to make a include(style.css)?

If i make a background.css
then in there post that code.

How can i connect the css to Connect.php to open in every pages?

Add the following into the head of your index file:

Code: Select all

<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

And inside your stylesheet file (style.css) add:

Code: Select all

body{
        background-image:url('image.jpg');
}

Short addendum to my last response:

You can also expand the background image properties to define the location on the page, for example:

Code: Select all

body{
        background-image:url('image.jpg'); background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

background-position can be defined by either X,Y coordinates (eg. background-position: 45px -12px;) or by position indicators (eg. background-position: center top; <-- this obviously positions the image at the center of the page, at the very top.)

background-repeat simply indicates whether or not you want the background to repeat (eg. a tile background effect).

Hope this helps.

body{background-image:url('background.png');

whats wrong?

[ConceptDestiny]

<style type="text/css"><?php include ("style.php") ?></style><center><title>

What's style.php?

You should include a semi-colon at the end of your include, btw. i.e:

Code: Select all

<?php include ("style.php"); ?> 

[vitinho444]

style.php is a file that i created to all pages of the game has a background color by adding ?bg=COLORCODE to the page.

i put the semi colon there but is the same...
