Microsoft Office 2007 Publisher question

RaviUTA · 09-04-2008, 03:08 PM

Hi Guys,

I am trying to build a very basic website (www.eyebank.org) using Microsoft web publisher. I still have to do more work but what's bothering me is viewing it online after hosting it. The page looks perfectly fine when you minimize the browser window but when you maximize the window, on the right hand side, there's an extra space (or maybe, the background is repeating itself). Can somebody please tell me how to get rid of it?

Thx.

to get rid of the background repeating itself, add this attribute to the body tag:

Code:

style="background-repeat:no-repeat;"

And that piece of code should go between the head tags right? Problem is, I am unable to find the page source itself in Publisher 2007.I've googled it too… looks like there isn’t much information there. Does anyone know anything about it? Also, Shockie, did you look at the website? Do you think that might be the solution for it?

Thx.

no, the easiest way would be to add it within the body tag (<body style="background-repeat:no-repeat;"). i did visit your site and adding that style attribute will stop it from repeating, and it would instead turn white (according to your code).

your body tag looks like this right now:

Code:

<body link=maroon vlink="#996600" bgcolor=white background="index_files/image321.gif" style='margin:0'>

despite the messy bulky code, your site is fairly simple. you could probably just cut and paste the code from your browser (view source), make the changes, and then upload the file again.

Um... is there a way I can still have the background and have it not repeating? Coz adding the code ya said is making the background white and for some reason all the links, other pictures have also disappeared.

Thanks.

perhaps there's a bit of miscommunication here. the code in the codebox above shows what you currently have, not what i wanted you to change it to, lol.

change this (your current):

Code:

<body link=maroon vlink="#996600" bgcolor=white
background="index_files/image321.gif" style='margin:0'>

to this:

Code:

<body link=maroon vlink="#996600" bgcolor=white
background="index_files/image321.gif" style="margin:0; background-repeat:no-repeat;">
