Dreamweaver and Background Image problem...

[lia77]

I would like to add a background image to a page in dreamweaver which is standing ( like a standing A4). I would like it to cover the whole content frame horizontally but so that you would have to scroll down to see the rest of it.

However, when I picked the background picture, only half of it is visible, rest gets cut off (the scroll function is not there )

Does anyone know how to a scroll function so that the whole background image is seen?

I would be very thankful for a reply!

edit the css

have the style for body and set the min-height to the height of the image.

body{
 min-heigh:900px; /*where 900px is actually the height of the image.*/
}

I believe that will do it if I interpret your question correctly

Background images are purely that. If a DIV or page isn't big enough to show the whole image then you won't get a scroll bar – it'll just get masked because it's a background.
What was done above is making sure the page is a certain size to make sure it's as big as the image in question to get around this. Just so you know the reasoning behind it

Thanks!
It works exactly the way I wanted it now!!

(ps. min-heigh missed a t in the end though )
