Have you tried this(without the background-repeat: no-repeat; line:

Code:

 
}
HTML,BODY{
background-image: url(images/man7.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
MARGIN: 0px;
PADDING: 0px;
}

And added the font family etc to the body defination as you said, presuming ive done it correct, so it looks like this

Still hasn't fixed the problem unfortuantly, appreciate your help.

Regards Dean

Sorry, I had made two changes in my testing and forgot. Moving the font-family, etc. isn't needed. The real problem is the HTML,BODY{ needs to be just BODY{

Ugh. Its acting a bit flakey. That change works sometimes on my machine with a local copy of your home page. It seems to work consistently with the DOCTYPE line removed from the HTML. Not sure if that will break any of the new X-Cart HTML in 4.1 though.

Hi geckoday

Thanks for that i removed the lines

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1//DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

from my /customer/home.tpl and yes it worked a charm seemed to do the trick, like you said though will it break any of the new X-Cart HTML in 4.1

I also changed my code slightly and removed

Quote:

background-repeat: no-repeat;

To

Quote:

background-repeat: repeat;

Ok you get 2 lots of background images scrolling up but better than seeing a sudden white area were the image ends, but not the real out come i wish for.

I'd definitely like help with information regarding the DOCTYPE as this made a big difference and the image worked as i wanted it to, but does it do harm to the new xcart 4.1 html etc

Thanks again for you help, really appreciated..

Hi Guys

Ok something strange ive just found out by accident, the image doesn't work correctly on my main home page and scrolls up which i don't want it to, BUT if you click on a catergory the image works and remains fixed whilst you can scroll up and down, ive also checked this out through checkout and it all works perfect.

So for some reason it just doesn't want to work on the main front home page !!
If worse came to worse i could change my code to say -

background-repeat: repeat;

At least this would only effect my front page and i don't think to many people would notice the double image as the scroll down etc, could someone just confirm that they are getting the same effect as me if they click on a catagory the image remains fixed...

Iam noticing as well when you click away from the home page i.e on a catergory or view cart etc, on the bottom left iam getting the yellow triange
"error on page" can you guys confirm this for me please....

Again guys you've been so much help, cheers to all....

managed to clear the yellow triangle "error on page" was something i'd done wrong

MoonDog · #28 09-09-2007, 03:04 PM

a1deano,

The source view of your home page shows two open <body> and two closing </body> tags. This might also cause the scrolling problem, because 'background' was an attribute of the body tag.
I viewed the source of a couple of products files from the category menu, it shows them all having one set of body tags. And these pages seems to working OK (no scrolling problem).

Now, when you go to your regular site (not the testsite) and you view the source file of the homepage, it actually shows three opening <body> tags and only two closing </body> tags. And yet, this page seems to be working OK and does not have the scrolling problem.

Out of curiosity, place an extra <body> tag right before this line of code that's on your problem site:

Code:

 
<body onload=runSlideShow() bgcolor=>

just to see if the problem goes away. This is bad programming practice, but it's a start to see where the problem might be, and just correct it from there if it was the problem.

I'm really curious to know what might be causing this problem.

Hi all well ive just removed the line

Quote:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

and know the image is remaining fixed in IE 6 as i wanted.

What i need to know by removing the DOCTYPE will this effect the running of xcart.

Many thanks Dean
