This is a pretty general HTML question, actually, and there are two
ways you can turn a graphic into the background for a Web page, whether
it's on
MySpace or
anywhere else.
The first, traditional way to set a graphic as a background image on a
Web page is to add the attribute
background="url"
to the
body tag. For example, the site
Media Builder.com
has some free backgrounds including an attractive edge of autumn
leaves. That file is known as
http://www.mediabuilder.com/mb_content/tile_leaves_autumn.gif
which means that you could set that as the background to your page by
using that value as the "url" in the above attribute to the
body
tag. It might look like this:
<body
background="http://www.mediabuilder.com/mb_content/tile_leaves_autumn.gif">
To use that in MySpace, just copy and paste that line directly into
your own profile box and it should work fine.
The cool, modern way to add backgrounds, however, is through
Cascading Style Sheets, not straight HTML, and in that situation, you'd
use code more like this:
<style type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
body
{ background-image: url(
url) }
</style>
I don't think that'll work with MySpace, however, because I am fairly
certain that the MySpace editor strips out these sort of
meta-inclusions. But, heck, it'd be worth trying to see what happens
