Triples or Layers Backgrounds


I've seen groups where they have them.
How do I make that work?

Re: Triples or Layers Backgrounds


I don't understand what you're referring to, PurpleLady. Can you provide a link or two for examples?

Re: Triples or Layers Backgrounds


Hmmmm... I did a Google search for "triples backgrounds" and came up with this site. Is this the sort of thing you are asking about?

Re: Triples or Layers Backgrounds


Ah, I've seen a few boards that do that, although I'd use divs instead of tables. emoticon

If that's what you're wanting, you could try:


Beginning of HTML header:

<div id="outerlayer">
<div id="middlelayer">
<div id="innerlayer">



End of HTML footer:

</div></div></div><!-- end layer divs -->


CSS:

#outerlayer {
   border: 4px double #cccccc;
   background: #cccccc url(url_to_outer_background.jpg);
   padding: 30px;
}
#middlelayer {
   border: 4px double #cccccc;
  background: #cccccc url(url_to_middle_background.jpg);
   padding: 30px;
}
#innerlayer {
   border: 4px double #cccccc;
  background: #cccccc url(url_to_inner_background.jpg);
   padding: 5px;
}


The hex code after background: should match your background image, to make a nice transition while the background image is loading for those of us on dialup.

Change url_to_whatever_background.jpg to the url of your background images.

Adjust the borders and padding to suit.

If you want to restrict the width of the entire thing, define that in #outerlayer like so:

#outerlayer {
   border: 4px double #cccccc;
   background: #cccccc url(url_to_outer_background.jpg);
   padding: 30px;
   width: 912px;
}


You actually need to subtract the padding plus border, times two, to get the right width. For example:

 912 "width"
+ 60 (30×2)
+ &nbsp; 8 (4×2)
 980

...so from border edge to border edge, this would result in a 980px-wide outer background.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
Thanks, I will go play and see what happens.

And yes, Backgrounds by Marie is a good example of what I mean.
