Im having some problems with my backgrounds..well actually, background.I have a background in my inline frame on my site(which by the way is very big..the inline I mean) and it works fine. I have a link in a top frame that targets the inline and the text is coming up, but no background only the background color (for while the image is supposed to be uploading). I have copied the exact html that I have on the inline frame on to the other page, but it still wont show up. What do I do?

This is the code:

<BODY BACKGROUND="bright_sea.bmp" bgproperties="fixed">

Everything here is correct (as far as my knowledge goes) and the image is uploaded perfectly. It just wont show up on the other page.

I think that if you have a background image, you shouldn't need a background colour. Try taking out the colour part and see if your image shows up :) .

background color is often used at the same time as an image. in some cases, part of the image is transparent and the color reflects through. in other cases (such as the one mentioned) it is like a placeholder until the image is fully loaded.

the image being used in the post example is BMP. that can be a very large file type to load. i would suggest using an image editor to change it into a nice small GIF or JPG file type.

as for the real problem at hand, it is hard to say without seeing the problem page in question.
