Background plus link

Hello,

I have two questions:

1. how do I open a link in a new window
2. I have an image as my background, but this image is shown 4 times (2x2) on the background. I want this image shown just as one big image. How do I change that?

Thank you,
Jazz

In your CSS you should have your background defined in the body;



or something similar, add;



In between your curly brackets.
Stretching the background image would make it pixelate and lower the quality of the image.

To open a link in a new window, do this;



Hope this helps

And if the CSS scares you it should also be in the page - properties section of dreamweaver. I think... Haven't used it in years...

wow, that's considerable abracadabra for me. but i'll give it a go.
but thank you for the explanation. i'll let you know if i worked it out.

thunder, if i cant work it out, do you know how to do that? i tried for too long and nothing worked...

If you're using the Page Properties section of DW, it'll put the CSS at the top of your main HTML page, between two style tags;



There isn't really an issue with that, but linking an external stylesheet is preferable, in which case most sites have a CSS file (usually named style.css) in their sites index.
It just makes your code tidier and easier to access and change, you just simply link it to your HTML document in the head of the page;



Coding it by hand will also make it easier to learn and know what to change should anything go wrong, IMO.

Yeah. I do all my coding by hand. So I don't know my way around DW. But I just feel that people using DW usually prefer to do things without code... So I try and explain without resorting to coding it if at all possible.
