    Default Page content that scrolls vertically over background

    Is there a function/tool in NOF that allows me to build a page that has a static background image and content that will scroll vertically over the background. I've seen a number of sites that have this and think it is pretty cool. Most of these sites were created using Joomla. Just curious if NOF offers this or if there is an 3rd party tool that I can use that works with NOF. I use NOF 11.0
    Thanks

    Default didn't work

    I followed the instructions word for word multiple times and it doesn't appear to work. The background continues to scroll vertically along with the content. Is there a specific format that the content portion of the page needs to be in in order for this to work?

    Here you go mike:

    I used Repeat= horizontal since the background image is only about 300 pixels wide. Before I did this I also tried it with Repeat = None. Same deal, ie. background still scrolls with the rest of the page. I have only set the homepage (above) to this just to see if it works rather than changing the other pages as well.

    Thanks for your help

    Default controlling the opacity of a content box

    Mike

    while we are working this, any suggestions on how to set the opacity of a content box, i.e. text box or table to anything other than solid. I would like to be able to set the background of the content box to say 50% so that the wood texture page background is visible beneath the actual content as it scrolls over the background.

    Again,

    Thanks

    Default now it works

    Mike,

    This is really embarrassing as now it works fine. Not sure what I did differently but the background remains fixed while the content moves. Still have the second question about opacity.
