I used to use iframes for some of my sites, and if you know how to integrate it seamlessly, like borderless and la la, it works very well.

Except for browsers that dont support iframes...

And faltzer, just wondering if you knew that the pic in your sig has been broken for the past several days. And also I was browsing thru your site and happened to click on the Gold/Silver section and saw that you said G/S was the 3rd generation of games... might wanna fix that.

I'm using Dragonfree's first layout on my new website.

But my problem is the background. I have this:

background:#FFFFFF;

and changed it to this:

background:#http://www.freewebs.com/xd375/background.bmp;

but it won't work.

Its not working because you are doing it wrong, # should always be followed by a number which is the hex code for a colour.

If you want a image background you need to add differnt HTML, to get the code for your background add <img src="http://urltoimgar.com">.

Click to expand...
You need to use this:
HTML: 
body {
background-image: url(http://www.freewebs.com/xd375/background.bmp);
}
Also, you'd better use another format for your pics than bmp.

I think the most important thing about layouts is, that the colors aren't hurting your eyes.

Yeah, if you're using paint then save the files in PNG format. You wont lose quality, and they load faster.
And the link isnt working because of that ; being included in the hyperlink

body {
color:#000000;
font-family:verdana, sans-serif;
font-size:10pt;
background:#FFFFFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

^That's what I have.^
I try putting <I>
HTML: 
body {
background-image: url([url]http://www.freewebs.com/xd375/background.bmp);[/url]
}
in and
HTML: 
<img src="http://www.freewebs.com/xd375/background.bmp">
 but none work. And Paint in Windows 98 can't save anything other than BMP and my parents won't let me install PaintShop Pro or Corel Draw or any of that stuff that just sits there but hardly ever gets used.

HTML: 
body {
color:#000000;
font-family:verdana, sans-serif;
font-size:10pt;
background:#FFFFFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

No... here, go to your page, and right click and choose "view page source" you should then see your HTML, and go down after the part you posted, and you should see <body>
