    Hi there,

    I was trying to add a a picture for my background for a spesific text area.

    So I found raw html in swift builder. I’ve wrote some text there all fine and working, and for background (for that spesific area) I set my picture. But final look was that background picture was not in that area but all around the page.

    This is raw html code:

    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body background=”watermark.png”>
    <p> some text </P>
    </body>
    </html>

    In the attachment is seen that background picture is not taking effect for “some text” but all around. How do I set background picture for text area if I can’t with raw html how can I?

    I’ve also attached swift builder screen.

    Hi,

    It won’t work like that, as you’re declaring a new HTML document inside the already existing one (your site).

    Try adding a text block with the content you need, set an extra class on it and style that class with custom CSS. Let’s say the class is called custom-bg-1

    Add this to the custom CSS theme option:

    .custom-bg-1 {
  background: url("http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/myimage.jpg") center top no-repeat;
}

    Make sure you use the correct path to the image.

    Regards,

    Hi,
    I am trying to get a background picture in the body and then transparent colour on text box.
    Tried the tips above – but could not get it to work.

    If i understand the issue above I think it should be the solution – or are there any other tips?

    @lenah – from the sounds of it, you’d like something a little bit different. It would be best to open your own topic for this, with some more details.
