Topic: How to set
background image in html web page?
Explanation
background:
This is an attribute for body tag used for setting image or picture as a background.
<body background="./test.jpg"></body>
The value for the attribute is the path of the image file.In this example we have a image file named test.jpg in the same directory of the html file, so we use the path as ./test.jpg
This is an attribute for body tag used for setting image or picture as a background.
<body background="./test.jpg"></body>
The value for the attribute is the path of the image file.In this example we have a image file named test.jpg in the same directory of the html file, so we use the path as ./test.jpg
It is mainly used when we want a common background a lines/stripes etc.The image in our example, test.jpg is a very small one as shown here. So a very small image can be used to set the background of such a big page.
Combining all the tags learned so far
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title> My Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="green" background="./test.jpg">This is my first page </body>
</html>
<head>
<title> My Page</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="green" background="./test.jpg">This is my first page </body>
</html>
Test It: Copy the code or type the code in to the textbox shown under subtopics and click show.
Such a kind of background occurs because when the image size is small it will be placed again next to it, until the size reaches the total height and width of the screen.
