Another web page question

wyebird

Am doing a house sale site for my boss :eek:

What he wants is a single picture for the background, a view, not repeating and some titles etc to sit in the sky bit of the view.....so far, okish

His OH would like the titles to sit in a specific bit of the sky, which looks very nice on my 22" monitor, but lives in the RH corner of a smaller one!

If I put it in a floating container I think it will centre (?) but then it won't necessarily park itself in the right bit of sky .

Is there any way around this? My thoughts are that only if the image ceases to be the background, and becomes, well, just an image???
Any help gratefully appreciated long with hair dye contributions (sending me grey!!)

Can you use absolute positioning and position the titles over the exact bit of sky that they want them to be?

e.g.
#container !!
position:absolute;
top:Xpx;
right:Ypx;
etc.....
}

Do you have the site uploaded so I can have a look?

wyebird

Yeah, I can make it sit on the sky, but the sky is on the the right hand edge on smaller monitors. If I reduce the width of the page then I get alot of space to the right on higher resolution, rectangular monitors which is not covered by the background image.
I have only used a picture as background before once and that was much simpler and on a white background!
Can I make a background image fill the whole browser and stay in proportion?
It's not upped yet, am waiting for the tags to be transferred at the mo.

Thanks for your help :-)

Can you not center the whole background, so there is white space on the right and left which is even no matter which size resolution the is

wyebird

Yes, that's what I thought I would need to do.....but others have said that there must be some way of avoiding the white space....I didn't think so....but I know my knowledge has some way to go! (trying to move away from wysiwyg and learn proper code )

Thanks for your time and your help :A
