trying very hard to set a backround for my webpage. All the files are in the right directory, I am sure. So look at the source of this and tell me what I am doing wrong. Appreciate any help.

:eek:

Did you try making image001 as a jpg instead of a gif?

I see quite a few unpaired and mismatched tags on the page. That can have deleterious effects upon some browsers' ability to display a page.

Good luck!

This is what you had:

<body backround="image001.gif"



The only problem is spelling.... background has a G in it.

:) :)

Oh, good grief! I just saw that!

Heh-heh. I was thinking about contextual server file type permissions. Always looking for the hard answer instead of the easy one!

Good set of eyes, BreakApart! I don't know how many times I just stared at that word!

PhiI2e, you might still want to tidy up that markup language a bit. There really are quite a few unmatched and mismatched tags. Not a problem for most browsers these days I guess, but they would crash the living daylights out of some versions of Netscape.

Edit: BTW, I am not Mr Young, just a student eager for some extra credit :D

TextPad? Well, yes, for the editing job. TidyHTML is a nice little checker that helps spot problems on a page that need to be cleaned up. Let's face it, when you start moving markup language around, especially when you're watching out for the embedded content, stuff gets broke. And it can be hard to spot where and how you broke something. I use an HTML editor that formats the markup language very nicely so that it's easier to spot mismatched and unmatched tags, and I use a markup language checker as a final protection against those little misplaced items that can screw things up.

Good luck with the pages. The graphics looked very nice.
