Sup guys, this is my first post and i’ve searched around to try and figure out what I want to do but I can’t find anything.
What I was looking to do was have 2 images bordering my main div cell (located in the center of the page) so they can accentuate it and not make the bg look so boring. I proceeded to make a background image then realized I had forgotten about people with different resolution monitors won’t get the desired effect…only people on monitors lke mine w/ 1440×900 resolution, so I scrapped it.
Essentially, I want to do is to squeeze an image on the left and right of my main cell but keeping them anchored to the left and right borders of the browser window so resizing the window keeps them in the same position centered and anchored to the left/right borders. (Kinda like how vertical advertisement banners on some sites stick to the sides). This way, I’d get the effect that regardless of resolution my background maintained its shape.
Meanwhile I’d keep it w/ a shallow z-index so if the page is shrunk beyond the size of the images, they’d slide behind my main cell.
Can anyone offer any help on achieving this? I’m using Dreamweaver to make my page and it disallows me from creating any divs to the left or right of the main body block. If this isn’t possible, how about just getting the images to anchor to the left and right sides of my main cell?
Thanks
p.s. if you are having a hard time understanding what I mean, imagine a website with a red square in the center with a body of white text in it. The red square is on a black background but left and right of the red square are broadswords that are anchored in position so they’ll slide with the browser window as it is resized. Since bg is all black, it would appear as if regardless of resolution the background was maintained.
(alt: have the swords stay anchored on the left and right sides of the red square so regardless of resizing the window, the swords are always stuck to the sides and it wouldn’t matter how big the screen was made.)
