VirtualMV/CSS/Techniques/Gradient filled background

Objectives

To create a gradient filled background

Create a gradient strip

In image in a drawing program create an image that is say 20 pixels wide and height of 450px e.g. BackGradientGreen.png (in downloads below)

Tip make sure the final fill colour is the same as your default background colour (in the example this is white) that way it will always look right no matter what height the browser is set to.

Add the following style

<style type="text/css">
body {
  background-image: url('BackGradientGreen.png');
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
 }
</style>

Notes

background-attachment (Refsnes Data, 2008)

• Scroll: Default. The background image moves when the rest of the page scrolls
• Fixed: The background image does not move when the rest of the page scrolls
