fixed image on side of page

[usawh]

Hi I would like to have a fixed image like this site http://www.to-hawaii.com but only on one side of the page. How can I do that ?

are you talking about the sand images?

 

if so and you would just like something similar down one side you can just set your image as a background and set it to repeat verticaly.

 

body {
  background: url(link to image.gif) repeat-y;
}

 

or if you dont want the background to scroll put

 

body {
  background: url(link to image.gif) repeat-y fixed;
}

Just to clarify the code given above would be inserted in a CSS format.

Eg.

<style type="text/css">

body {

  background: url(link to image.gif) repeat-y;

}

</style>

Aesthetically, sites with fixed backgrounds look old and outdated. Something to consider before fixing your background.

Hi Thanks

 

What if I wanted to have random fixed background each time the page is loaded ? How do I go about doing that ?

There are a few ways to do it.

 

* You can set up your css file as a php file, and add php logic that calls up a random image each time

* You can set up your server to process css files as php, and again add php logic that calls up a random image each time

* You can dynamically output a random inline background image in your body using php
