RE: Background colour gradients

For you background image, make a gradient image that measures 1200 pixels
wide by 1 pixel high.  Make your gradient design within that one pixel
height and label as <background=image.jpg> or whatever you label your image.
By making the image 1200 pixels wide you should be able to cover resolutions
up to 1024x768 and down to 800x600 without any problems.  Additionally, if
you make the image only 1 pixel high you will reduce the file size
considerably over unused data bits and should improve you overall
resolution.

Subject:	Background colour gradients

I am trying to put a gradient background onto a web site that I am
designing. ie white on the left of the screen graduating to black on the
right hand side.
The problem is that the only way I can find to do it is to place a graphic
on the page background. This works fine for the designed resolution ie
800x600 but of course looks horrible at any other resolution as the image
is a fixed size in pixels. Is there anyway to make the actual page
background graduate accross a page so that resolution doesn't matter ie it
always looks the same?
