help with colors, backgrounds, etc.
I know some HTML and have tried putting it in my long biography section. I started simple with just a light background color but I can't get it to show up. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I was using body bgcolor="FFF8DC" |

For whatever reason, the bgcolor function doesn't work, while just about every other HTML command does. You can either use an image of that color, or paste in this CSS code:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background:FFF8DC}
-->
</style>
</head> |

Thanks
Thanks for the help! It worked. Are there any other HTML codes that don't work or is the bg bodycolor the only one?
Again, thanks !! |

Quote: tch7 You can either use an image of that color, or paste in this CSS code:
This code seems to work for me too, although the change is not showing up when I click through to my profile from this posting (maybe it takes a few days to work through the servers?). But I do see the new bkgnd color when I edit in the css code and click through to "view public profile" from there.
But what I'd really like to do is use a jpg image or gif pattern as profile page background. How would one go about doing that? Not sure of the exact coding...
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Because the Long Bio is the only field where you aren't restricted with coding, and given that the Long Bio only shows up on your public profile, the changes will only appear on your public profile. You can't change the background for your non-public profile.

Use this code:
<body background="URLofImage">
If you want the image to be fixed in place, you can use this code:
<body background="URLofImage" bgproperties="fixed">
Here's an example:
<body background="http://img.epinions.com/images/epi_images/logos/epi_logo_internal_303.gif" bgproperties="fixed">
You can also make it so the background image does not repeat/tile, but that requires some simple CSS. Let me know if you want that code, otherwise I won't bother. |

That's perfect, thanks. Just what I needed. |

Background Problems
I am new to epinions and just tried setting up my background tonight. I found that the link http://www.epinions.com/user-mountainskys does not display the background but the other link http://www.epinions.com/user-mountainskys/show_~View_Profile does show the background. I also noticed that the background does display properly on other peoples link such as the user http://www.epinions.com/user-gothicdreams (shows background on non public profile)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Your background will only show on the public page. I doesn't show up on your private user page where you make your changes (same with any text or pictures you add in the body of your profile). When I click on your profile, I see your background, so it's working as intended.

Background Images
Thanks for the reply. I had checked it while signed out without good results, but today it works fine. Maybe there is a delay and thanks for checking!
