Setting an image as background?

littleperl · Jan 31, 2008

Hi there -

I'm completely new to Perl and was wondering if it is possible to set an image as a background (much like you do a color using <BODY BACKGROUND=black>). I can insert an image just fine, but my text does not stay on top of it. Rather, it just gets shoved to the bottom. Any suggestions (the simpler the better).

I assume you mean for a web page. You can just point it to a web page but you need to put the images somewhere that can be read.. SO if you script is in /cgi-bin/ you put the image in the regular folder (or htdocs) and then you can say <body background=/image.jpg> (don't forget the slash!) or put the full path <body background=

http://www.yoursite.com/image.jpg>
