Hi,

Does anyone know how to put a background like the one in www,macromedia.com (with the radial color) in a dreamweaver site?

Sorry about the newbie question, but's that's what i am <img src=../images/fwzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

thanks
cheers

looks more like a linear gradient to me <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

anyways, all you do is create the graphic really high like 2000px high, colour it with a gradient, and then slice it or crop it to 1 or 2 px wide.

this means you have a real small file size, instead of loading thw whole gradient pic <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

then a dash of CSS either in your page, or in a stylesheet.

body {
background-image: (./gradient.jpg);
background repeat: repeat-x;
}

what that does is take your 2px wide gradient, and tile it horizontally across the screen.

Thanks Dave,

Great explanation. It works fine and looks beautiful <img src=../images/fwzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

you rule
cheers

Another tip: If you're trying to do a linear gradient that goes from one value to an opposite (dark to light), you can use CSS to keep the background image from scrolling.
