Tiling backgrounds

Background tricks This trick allows you to make your backgrounds look different. you can change the size of it and make cool stuff like sidebars. This is called tiling.

TILE means if you use an image in your background, the image will repeat itself across and down the page. The number of times it repeats on the page depends on the size of your image.

If you have a small GIF or JPG that you would like to use in the background, but do not want it to fill the entire page, you can add a tag to the end of the BODY BACKGROUND image tag to control the direction in which the image repeats.

Combine the HTML codes
The NOTILE tag is what you use to control the direction of the repeating images. You must put the NOTILE tag inside the BODY BACKGROUND tag.

To make your image tile vertically only, use this:

To make your image tile horizontally only, use this:

Display/Body Tag tricks

You can enter the following commands in your body tag or a display tag and it will enable different effects on WebTV browsers. Replace the (....) with arrows.

(body hideoptions) or (display hideoptions)...this will hide the status bar at the bottom of the WebTV browser.
(body address=anyname) or (display address=anyname)...whatever you replace anyname with will show up when people press INFO on the WebTV browser. it will no longer show the address to your homepage.
(body nooptions) or (display nooptions)...no options will be available. Whoever views the page can not press SAVE, SEND, INFO, GOTO,OPTIONS,RECENT on the keyboard. This is useful when you don't want anyone to know where your homepage is located.


Here is a list of the rest of these tags just put them in the body tag or a display tag and see what they do. you can also combine them if you want all in one tag.
