"Gradient Tag" In my common.asp file? Am I asking for trouble with other browsers? I am just migrating the the forum and setting up a portal and all the related stuff. I am gun shy of the skins available, just want the common stuff. I have my basic forum started and I use the default skin. I placed the gradient tag in the body tag in the common.asp and it looks nice to me on MSIE 6.0 but I just wonder what happens on other browsers. Does the default skin take over? That would be great. My basic forum: http://www.houseofproctor.com/forum/default.asp - http://www.houseofproctor.com/forum/default.asp TIA

| Yes. 7.5 I am also in the very early stages of this forum, so many changes still pending. I am just experimenting with the gradient and many other things. So the link example will change many times. |

It doesn't show on Mozilla for me either. It's using an Axtive X filter that is only available to IE users ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| I guess it will not appear for Opera users as well. |

To do a gradent like that to run in all browsers I tend to use a
graphic that is around 2 pixels high and 1600 pixels long this way as
background images repeat it will look like a gradent in all browsers.

Fantastic Tip! Thank You. I have never created a graphic before. I went into Adobe Photoshop created new with your dimensions - Saved and put as background on the common.asp Got the vertical effect just like that! Now I have new toy! Just a small Thx for that as well as everything else around here! |
