Applying images or color to the page background

You can apply an image or color to the background of your page to visually enhance the page. You can also apply images or color to the backgrounds of other elements, including layout grids (see Adding color or backgrounds to page elements.)

When choosing an image for the background, keep in mind that GoLive and Web browsers treat the image as a tile that is repeated to cover the page. Although colors that you choose for page backgrounds override the default colors used by most Web browsers, other browser preference colors can override your page background colors.

To apply an image or color to the page background:

1. Click the Page icon  in the upper left corner of the document window.
2. In the Page Inspector, click the Page tab.
3. Under Background, do one of the following:
• Select Image and specify the image file using the Point and Shoot button  or the Browse button. (See Specifying the destination URL for a link.)
• Select Color and click inside the color field. (This displays the Color palette.) Then select a Web-safe color in the Color palette. (See Using the Color palette.) The color you select is automatically applied to the page and to the color field in the Page Inspector.
• Drag a color from the preview pane of the Color palette to the Page icon in the document window.

Clicking a color field automatically opens the Color palette. A. A color field B. The preview pane C. A selected color in the Web Name List
