    Html question
    I am planning to update the look of my site and especially want to update the background (this was created as part of a trellix wizard).  Are there any sites that I could visit that assist me ?  

    I also have a couple of pictures that I may wish to use as the background - I know you can write html that will fix the picture and allow the text to scroll over, if anyone has this html I would be very grateful. Also how is the picture affected by different display sizes of screens ?  I would rather the picture didn't wrap.

    Some of the pictures I use on my site are downloaded from my in laws digital camera - they seem to make the loading process very small no matter what size I display them at ?  Can anyone suggest a remedy ?

    Finally - how can I add music to my site ?

    Thanks!   ::)

    html question
    Are you just wanting a new background of sorts?

    http://www.sfsu.edu/~jtolson/textures/textures.htm
    http://www.free-backgrounds.com/
    http://www.backgroundcity.com/
    http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Design_Art...s/Backgrounds/

    if you are wanting to make the image stationary & not move - place this in the head:
    <style type="text/css">
    BODY
    {
    background-image: url('images/backgrounds/generichdr.gif'); 
    }
    </style>

    If you do not want it to repeat:
    <style type="text/css">
    BODY
    {
    background-image: url('images/backgrounds/generichdr.gif'); 
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }
    </style>

    More info: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

    If you are using HTML to reduce these images - you are not reducing the size. You need to use an imaging program to reduce the size that way.

    If you want to embed Windows Media Player:
    <OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" width=350 height=25

    classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"

    codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/ controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902"

    standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components... "

    type="application/x-oleobject">

    <PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="ey.mp3">
    <PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">
    <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" SRC="ey.mp3" name="MediaPlayer1" width="350" height="25" AutoStart="true"></OBJECT>

    make sure to change the file source (ey.mp3) in BOTH places.
