Name
BACKGROUND — NN 4 IE n/a HTML n/a
Synopsis
BACKGROUND=”URL"Optional
Specifies an image file that is used as a backdrop to the text and
other content of the ILAYER element. Unlike normal
images that get loaded into browser content, a background image loads
in its original size (without scaling) and tiles to fill the
available layer space. Smaller images download faster but are
obviously repeated more often in the background. Animated GIFs are
also allowable but very distracting to the reader. When selecting a
background image, be sure it is very muted in comparison to the main
content so that the content stands out clearly. Background images, if
used at all, should be extremely subtle.
Example
<ILAYER ID="thingy4" SRC="quotes.html" BACKGROUND="blueCrinkle.jpg"> </ILAYER>
Value
Any valid URL to an image file, including complete and relative URLs.
Default
None.
