2 questions, background + date boxes Options

[br0ken_]

Ok, two things.

1. I have a background URL in the background box on the look and feel, but its not loading on my computer. So if anyone could take a quick peek and see if it loads for them? I dont know why its not showing up.. my xanga

2. Heres the code I am using for the date. I want to get rid of the box around the date...so I dont know if I have to delete a code, or part of a code, or add in a different code. Anyone know?

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css"><br />/* edits the date */<br />div.blogheader, .caption {<br /> background-image: url();<br /> background-repeat:no-repeat;<br /> background-position:center;<br />font-family: verdana;<br />text-transform:none;<br />font-size:9pt;<br />line-height:15px;<br />font-weight: bold;<br />color:#000000;<br />letter-spacing:1px;<br />background-color:#ffffff;<br />text-align:center;<br />border:1px solid #000000;}<br />.blogbody b, .standard b, p b, strong {<br />/* edits bolded text in your entry */<br />  font-weight: bold;<br />  color: #e48997;}<br /></style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><br /><!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css">}<br />div.smalltext{<br />width: WIDTHpx;<br />padding: 3px;<br />text-align: center;<br />font-family: verdana;<br />font-size: 7pt;<br />}</style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

1. No, the background isn't showing up. Does it end with .gif, .jpg, or .png?

2. Remove the "border: 1px solid #000000" from that first part of your CSS under the heading "div.blogheader, .caption."

1.) I do not see a background.

2.) Try taking out the border part.

ok, thanks. I got rid of the boxes.

And the background is a jpg. Does it have to be gif or something else? Or should I upload it to a site? All I did was right click on the picture form a site and copied the URL from there.

[hi-C]

Oh well that might be your problem. The site may not allow direct linking. It doesn't have to be gif or something else, jpg is fine.

Ok, I uploaded and now it works.

Just one more thing...does it look better with transparent, or nontransparent tables?

[Babiexdreamerz]

Try uploading the pic. and than put it on the site and it should show up.

And i think it looks better with transparent tables.
