Take the now-classic CSS Zen Garden, using its standard style: http://csszengarden.com/ Note that, at the top-left of the page is a lillipad image that does occupy some of the space outside the content, but also some inside the content. At the bottom-left is a blossom tree with the same inside/outside characteristics. In this case, the effect is only possible because there are 2 layers to apply backgrounds to - the body tag and a second div tag occupying the same area. If a design backing 4 corners was desired, 3 extra tags would be needed. And if you wanted something in the center as well... . Ideally, this stacking of background images in a design that can be any width or height could be handled in one CSS definition, instead of modifying (and cluttering) the *ML for each layer of decoration. -Chris "SoopahMan" Moschini http://hiveminds.info/ http://soopahman.com/Received on Wednesday, 17 December 2003 11:15:58 GMT
