Help BBCode Question

[Exanis]

Wasn't sure where exactly to go with this, so I went here.

I know in some other forums and formats you are capable of setting the background of a post to an image through some finagling and specific code. I was wondering if that was supported here before I give myself the headache of trying a dozen different methods of trying to get it to work.

Hey Exanis , I moved your thread to the BBcode center.

Anyways, you are trying to get a background image, yes?

Thank you for moving it to the proper location, and yes I think that's what I'm trying to do.

Alright, this is a bit interesting because some CSS elements are involved. You want do something like this:

[bg=overflow: auto; height: (in px); width: (in px); background-image: url("Url here");]text[/bg]

Would the format be the same if I wanted to apply it to a series of Tabs?

I'm not sure seeing as I haven't tried it. I'm assuming the tabs would just be inside of the background tag.

It does work, yes. Thank you for the help, though one final question. What exactly do the height and width settings do to the pictures?

They set how large the image is. For example....

This is the image's size at 600x1060

Text

This is the image's size at 60x106

One thing I'll add to this is that the overflow won't work because you havn't cut off the background-color using a ; after the =. So:

[bg=; overflow: auto; height: (in px); width: (in px); background-image: url("Url here");]text[/bg]
