Can i fade my background image? Options

[computershateme]

Hey guys, when you link to an image for your backround from another site, is there anyway you can fade it? Without doing it manually and uploading it somewhere else? (all i have is paint, and i can't fade with that) I'd appreicate it.

fading in paint is gonna be hard... since it's not possible.
so here, use this code.
i don't know if you can use it on background images, but try it...

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<img src="yourimagehere" style="filter:alpha(opacity=30);-moz-opacity:0.3" onMouseover="high(this)" onMouseout="low(this)">

<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Did you do that code?
well.. that explains my question.
how do you get the code to get to the bg.... =)
i think tehre is like a code for background image.
=) i hope to find it soon, because i saw it before.

this is the code for the background:

<body background="URL HERE">

and if you want it fixed:

<body background="URL" bgproperties="fixed">

i guess you can try like putting the two codes for the background and fading together like this:

<body background="URL" bgproperties="fixed" style="filter:alpha(opacity=30);-moz-opacity:0.3" onMouseover="high(this)" onMouseout="low(this)">

dunno if will work but you can try

edit// i tried it but it faded everything on the page

[computershateme]

oh jeez you're right, it fades everything, gah! we're so close!! *cries*

Edit: Oh, oh..i found if i put that code in the very beginning of my custom header it fades just the background pic, but somehow it made my boxed xanga go away too

[kellyannie]

hmm can i have a link to your xanga? or the codes maybe

edit// woops got your xanga haha didn't see it there
are you using the code right now? because i still see your boxed xanga

[computershateme]

Alright, I just put the code you gave me eariler in the very beginning of my header, with the boxed code right after that. If you look at my xanga I saved the changes; it fades the background picture but totally gets rid of the box and like, all the borders and stuff.

Ohh you know what? I think it's good enough. The background is faded and that's what a wanted, so are the entires but they're readable so I think i am just going to stick with it. Thank you so much for your help! Someone can close this topic now...
