    Default Web Page Background

    Hi guys

    I have 2 websites made with fusion 11.

    Can I make the screen backgroung different colour than the website background? how?
    I explain, when I open other people websites my computer screen shows a Eg: blue background and a website in the middle, that website has a Eg: white background per example. Can this be done in fusion11?
    I have tried to change the background in "Styles" but it changes everything including master borders.

    Anyone knows?

    Thanks in advance

    All versions are capable of adding the html tags to do this.

    Many thanks again
    I am a girl... I don't know much about HTML code, that's why I use netobjects...
    putting the background colour like you said was cool, it was my first time putting code in a page, it worked perfectly, I used the same backgroung colour as netobjects page www.crsupportservices.co.uk

    Since you are an expert could I please take advantage of you and ask you another two questions:

    1- I noticed that the netobjects page (done with netobjects) has colours that fade from light tone to dark tone, how is this done, the colours palets only have solid colours???

    2- all the top 10 search engine websites have in their HTML "view source code" the good keywords like this: strong>Office Cleaners London</strong></a> | <a href="http://www.hawkeycleaning.co.uk/services.asp"><strong>Commercial Cleaners London</strong></a> | <a href="http://www.hawkeycleaning.co.uk/services.asp"><strong>Office Cleaning Company London</strong></a> | <a

    using the strong word...
    I tried to do the same but in HTML view the code appears in grey and grey is the nom editable HTML... is there a easy way around this?

    Many thanks in advance

    I have found that some of the best web designers I have met have been women

    that is a gradient image (graphic). You can create a gradient graphic in just about any image editing software. You do not have to make it large, only tall or wide enough to cover the gradient part, you make it cover the page by "repeating" the image either horizontally or vertically (depending on where you wish the fade to occur). In fact smaller is better when it comes to repeating an image.

    Fusion uses the <b> tag for bold. It is the same as using <strong>

    To bold a block of text (or a single word or letter in a word), just highlight what you want bold (hold down your left mouse button and drag over what you wish to apply the formating to) then from the text properties palette select the B (which is next to the I and U).

    Have fun using NetObjects and don't be a stranger in the forums.

    If Nancy were here, she'd kick your virtual butt for saying things like that.

    This is done using graphic images. Either the entire background is one big graphic image (the "lazy way" ), or it is a narrow slice that is repeated either vertically or horizontally to achieve the effect.

    If you use Firefox as a browser, take some time to peruse some sites and when you see this effect, right-click on it and select "View Background Image". It can be very interesting and informative.

    2- all the top 10 search engine websites have in their HTML "view source code" the good keywords like this: strong>Office Cleaners London</strong></a> | <a href="http://www.hawkeycleaning.co.uk/services.asp"><strong>Commercial Cleaners London</strong></a> | <a href="http://www.hawkeycleaning.co.uk/services.asp"><strong>Office Cleaning Company London</strong></a> | <a

    SEO is a big topic, and has been discussed several times in the past. The <strong> tag is essentially the same as <bold>. Have a look at this section from W3 Schools. This is a great resource for learning about HTML, CSS and more.

    (While your at W3 Schools, right-click on the grey gradient banner image and "View Background Image" for an example of what I mentioned above. )

    Whether this helps in the context of keywords or meta-tags is debatable. My understanding is you are better to have key words and phrases used in header tags in the actual body of the site. The higher the level, the more weight they carry in search engines. I.E. <H1> is more significant than <H2>, etc.

    Edit: Wow, did it really take me 23 minutes to finish that post?

    Not sure what you mean by shadow? Shadow around the central content? A gradient background? Do you have a URL for a web site that does what you want that you can post?
