Watermarks in HTML or CSS

Guest_imported · Sep 3, 2002

Hi, does anyone know whether its possible to create watermarks on printed HTML pages? I believe its possible to create watermarks using the background tag in IE although this doesn't seem to print.

The solution only needs to work for IE.

Does anyone have any ideas?

You could put everything inside your current <body> into a div like this:

<div style="z-index:1;"></div>

and then make a separate <div>:

<div style="z-index:0;"><img src="image.gif" width="100%" height="100%"></div>

If you wanted to do a background image, you would have to set your printing properties in IE to "print borders and backgrounds". The problem with this is that by simply setting it on your machine, your users will not know to do the same and it will only work on those with it turned on.

I think this is what you want:
[tt]
<style>
@media print {
body { background: url("images/aardvark.gif&quot

norepeat }
}
</style>
[/tt]
Add this to the <head> of your page.
