Background Help For Auctions | This Area Is Using A Background Image! | |
|---|---|---|
|
eBay uses the HTML code <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> in all of the auction ads. Because of this you can't choose your own background color in the normal way. You can use a gif file and it could be a color (example). The gif would over ride the color command. (See Full Body Background)
Another way around this problem is the use of tables. | ||
| This table is using five different background colors and one image file. | ||
| If you want to use an image in place of color: (panel at right) Use background=http://URL/image.gif in place of bgcolor="pink" Here is what the code would look like. | ||

Full Body Background For Auctions |
|---|
|
eBay uses the HTML code <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> in all of the auction ads. Because of this you can't choose your own background color in the normal way. You can use a gif file and it could be a color (example). The gif would over ride the color command.
The problems with Full Body Background are three fold. 1. You may make the ad text difficult to read. 2. It may not show up in all browsers. 3. It requires extra code to work in the 2 largest browsers. ( MSIE & NS ) For these reasons, I recommend that backgrounds be placed in tables. If you still want to use Full Body Background, here is an example of the code you need: <style> <!--Body {background: url(http://your.url.here/imagename.gif)}--> </style> <BODY background="http://your.url.here/imagename.gif"> |

Help With Display: So, you've created your web page or eBay ad and now you want to know, "whats next". To get the best results, you want your work viewable by most browsers. If you can try out your code using different browsers on multiple platforms, (Mac, PC, UNIX, ...), you'll see what the others see. (I do this)
You say you can't do this. That's where Bobby comes in: Bobby is a web-based public service that analyzes web pages for their compatibility with various browsers. Click on the icon below to go to the site: |
