Default Changing background behind website?

Does anyone know how to change the standard white backgroung on the left & right side of the page? These are not the website itself but where the website sits. We are wanting to upload a christmas setting jpeg for this background & later change it depending on the season. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

That's the body tag that controls it, so just add this to your body tag in skin1.css:

background: url(images/imagename.jpg);

Be sure to upload the image to the skin1/images folder.

Also, can you please update your signature with your X-Cart version per the forum guidelines? Thanks!

Ryan,

Thank you for the quick response. I tried it and it worked somewhat but found out that the website is transparent & you can se the background skin through the center of the website. Do you have an offline email address that I can comunicate to you? I have been having issues with the X-Cart team. We recently moved our site from an old url & server to a new url & updated server. Parts of our website that was functioning is now not & these guys are wanting to charge for everything. I caught them trying to charge me for 40 points for them bring up an offer to make changes to the site. I never agreed with them & still was charged even though they did nothing for the points. After telling them about the mis-charge, they credited the points back. I'm not sure i need people like that handling our website. I do not trust them. I have noticed things like this for awhile. Do you offer any services or know of anyone trustworthy & reasonable?

Thanks in advance,

Mark Barrett

Well you'd need to add a background color to the main container/table to eliminate that.

I'm afraid I'm not available for hourly assistance except for sites that we design/develop. You may want to try posting a request in the pro services - requests forum.

Also, please take a moment to update your signature. Thanks!
