Redux Arbor I wrote to Emma and asked for permission to use her halloween triple bgs for this project. As they are linkable graphics, I wanted to be sure it was ok to upload them from her site. She graciously gave her permssion. Thank you , Emma! Emma's Halloween Triples Since we have been playing with tables in one way or another, I thought this would be a fun project to learn a bit more about them. You can use as many backgrounds as you want. Go to Emma's site and choose 2 or 3 bgs that look well together. Because she's using them as body or table backgrounds, you can't source the page to get the images. You have to click inside her text box and scroll to the one you want. CCP into your goto box to bring up the url. Then beam it to your acct. I used 2 for the image at the top, and below in the text bx is my code for you to CCP. But, first a little explanation of what each tag & attribute does. (As pertains to this project) <<>table background="bgpumpkin.gif" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="3" border="10"> <<>tr><<>td bgcolor="black" align="center"> After playing with floaties and anis, you all know that the <<>table background is your image. We are going to use several images and 'nest' thenm inside of each other. The border can be as wide as you like. Cellpadding is the black area that you see around each or the 'frames' in the table. It works & looks just as a mat does on a real framed image It's black because I assigned it a color: <<>td bgcolor="black". If you don't assign a color the bg itself will show in that area. It is 7 pixels wide. Cellspacing is similar to what we use at IM when making a frame. If you enter co-ordinates 20x20+10+10, you get a 20 pixel border with a 10 pixel indentation, just like a real frame might have. Just for fun go try one, & see what I mean. So, I used cellspacing="3" because it's a smaller 'frame'. Check out the code below, choose your bgs, and main image and put together a pretty. You can change the colors, size of the border, cellpadding & cellspacing to suit your image. Here's the fae if you'd like to use it. You'll notice, I also, used transparency on the fae image. Try it for extra pizzazz. Most important thing to remember - make sure you have ALL your tables closed. I used 4 tables, so 4 closing tags. If you use 3, you need 3 closing tags. If you use 5, you need 5 closing tags. İOctober 7, 2006 Gnubee & Choco Do not reproduce or duplicate this tute. Do not post the steps Please post the page. |
