Please take a look at the following post here on the Forum:

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6488

You'll see the poster's guestbook has a repeating tiled image as the background instead of a solid color.

How can I do that with my guestbook?? If I could tile an image as my background, my guestbook would very much more closely resemble my website pages.

Thanks!

Edit header.php and put background="yourimage" in the body tag.

Hmmm......

Didn't work......

Here's my edit: </head>
<body background="floral.jpg"></body>

The "floral.jpg" file resides in the same folder (templates) as header.php.

Here's the previous code, which functions correctly and dispays solid background color:

</head>
<body bgcolor="$VARS[pbgcolor]" link="$VARS[link_color]" vlink="$VARS[link_color]">


What did I type wrong??

Thanks!

Either put the image in the guestbook folder or put the full url of the image in there.
