2 questions. I have a page that links to a specific, uncatagorized topic (news). This topic has it's own templet style, and background. I want to "fix" the background properties so that the forum scrolls over the image, and I want to make the cells in the forum transparent, so that the background shows through.

i dont see how u can do this whatout manually hacking the files

OK, so any ideas on what files to hack, and what changes to make? I don't know CGI, but I'm a quick learner, just need pointed in the right direction.

Come on, it can't be thathard...
can it?

TheGriffinman, we all have lives so posting two posts in two hours asking for help isn't going to get you many responses. Be Patient.

Go into your NONCGI DIR then the TEMPLATES FOLDER then look around in the Public_*.pl templates.

Thanks guy! Got it on the first try, and managed, somehow, to only change the topic I wanted changed. Must be my lucky day! See, all I needed was a nudge in the right direction!

Sorry about being pushy, it's just that I've been working over this for the last couple days, and it's been driving me crazy.

Now, I got the tables set to <TR>, but I haven't fixed the background yet. I don't know CGI, so can you tell me how do I say bgproperties="fixed" in Perl, or how I can somehow work this in?

ok basically i just took this out but your gonna have to edit to ur own use...to make the background fixed and not move while u scroll: u will find it on the first line..and edit the rest to ur liking


that should be correct

EDIT: Look below

<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE="1">[ June 30, 2001 06:51 PM: Message edited by: SK8285 ]</font>

Uh, OK? So, is this like a page that you created, or are you in a UBB file?

Ya lost me there.

Tried pasteing that code into my header field, but can't seem to get my background image that way.

did u edit the css script to ur bg address etc...or did u just copy the script directly...ok here is a more simpler code i fixed up for u


there ya go..this was tested and it should work

EDIT: I forgot to mention edit the background.gif to ur background image and the 200 px 200 px to the size of ur background image.
