your missing your open "td" and close "tr"
if you add a height and width that most users will see, you should be fine. I would use 1024x768. Not many users under that anymore
[code]<table><tr><td><a href="http]
you probably should not make the entire page an single image as resizing on the fly is more difficult

Resize the image? Either genuinely resize it (i.e in photoshop/whatever) or resize it on the fly using HTML.
I think it'd be something like
<IMG>
Google is your friend.

Helter - that would still cause scrolling would it not? As the user's screen will be 1024x768 (agreed that most users don't use less tahn this these days), but at the img will be inside a browser window, which would be slightly smaller than 1024x768, scrolling would still happen.
I'd recommend 800x600 for a better result.

Me neither at first glance.
A bit poor really Mjr Pain (and I'm sure I know your name from somewhere - MPD or BYGames maybe??). It'd be better if they were different images as it'd surely reduce the filesize and overall loadtimes.
Although, again,most people are on broadband these days so it doesn't really matter I guess, but it's a little poor nonetheless.

I'm new on photoshop so I'm just playing around with it.
I created it for webpage size 1280x1024
Doesn't matter what you change the setting to in the .script, result is always the same.
Trying to have a page similiar to this:
http://www.aaoicon.com/All 1 page with no scrolling.

Right:
Make the yellow bit's all on one line
same for the green "click here to enter" - make it all on one line

it won't - the background is still to big
I could reduce the size, but when displayed on other resolution, it's either to small or to big.
If I create a smaller one, is there a way to get rid of the white around the edge.
Settings width and height maybe?
Or can the page be displayed on black background?
When I look at the ICON site, it looks like a smaller pic on black background.
Try playing with it and see.

Well I am getting closer - had to set bgcolor="black"
<table>
<tr>
<body>
<td>
<a><img></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now I need to figure out how to center the img on the page and have it stay centered for any resolution.

<td align="center" valign="middle"

This should work as well... and if they don't click within 5 seconds it will be redirecting automatically!
Also made the pure black a little liter to roughly match the image's black <img>
[code] <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http]
NOTE: Might have to change some urls.

Joshie created the code for me.
I noticed 2 differences from his and Helters.
Changed background color and moving <center></center> section to the top.
He was asking me, "What caused the purple border around the image"

Another question to do with the same page, how would I add a music file or sound file to play when this page opens? I am using the code that Helter cleared up for me.
<style>
body { background-color: #060805;
}
.main { background-image url("http://www.aaquacks.com/quackpage3.jpg");
border: none;}
A:link { none; }
}
</style>
<center>
<div>
<a><img></a>
</div>
</center>

Here... this should help!
Just add it to your code (in the header perhaps). It's fairly self-explanatory.
- Code: Select all
<EMBED><NOEMBED><BGSOUND></NOEMBED>
Where your_sound_file is the name of your WAV, MP3, or MIDI file.
The first line, the one that begins with EMBED, is the one that will be read by most web browsers. So in most cases, your visitors' web browser will see the EMBED line, react to it, and then ignore the NOEMBED line.
A few web browsers (very few now) do not support the EMBED command, which is why the second line is added. The second line, beginning with NOEMBED, is an optional extra that will kick in if the web site is read by a browser that does not support the EMBED feature.

I tried the above, but not working - no sound
Does there have to be a volume setting - maybe it's playing but can't hear it?

Actually it works with a .mid file but not .mp3
Just have to find a good .mid file copy.
Will try the .wav if I find one too.

- Code: Select all
The requested URL /paintitblack.mp3 was not found on this server.
Might explain it!

Just to make sure, I've tried it myself... and the exact same code you use, but replacing your mp3 with a url to one I uploaded, worked perfectly fine!
IE will first annoy you with Active-X control and Fire-Fox wants to install Quick-Time if you haven't yet. But after that it will play fine!
[code] <html> <head> <!--<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http]
That's what I've tried it with! Just save it as TEST.html on desktop to try and open with browser.
