hello…
hard to say what could be wrong w/o looking at the code you have so far – any chance you can post that?

[François-michel nolin maffolini] “It’s not a FCP question but i figured that one of you know the answer. “
that’s ok – this isn’t an fcp forum…
unless throwing away the files is the last thing you did (in which case you can hit ctrl-z to undo the trash action), then no – you are stuck and have to rebuild dir structures manually…
also consider time machine if running leopard – it could help you get back the structure when it was correct previously…

oh they can go crazy high, but consider also that surfing at anything much larger than 1280 wide or so is just not very beneficial, so you can probably keep it a bit bigger than that and be ok…

hello…
the first one is flash set to 100% width and height of the browser, and you can set up how a background works in flash in that case…
the 2nd is a tiled image:
https://www.red.com/images/common/background.jpg
and then to hold it in place, they use the css attribute “background-attachment”:
background-attachment: fixed;
which holds it in place while the content scrolls over it…
so to make a background that goes the whole width and height of a page, you either need to make one that tiles (like red.com did) or you need to make one that is always guaranteed to be big enough to catch users with wide browsers and also big enough to catch any height of your content…
hope that helps!

[Emily Carmichael] “Can I ask you something, though? How would you do this, if you were me? Because it’s really nice to have the liquid width, but on the other hand, the tall photos are really annoying when they extend way past the window. “
if i were you, i would work with the images ahead of time to get them all at the same max width and/or max height – that way, they all end up in the same place and the controls don’t move around. it looks like here, for example, that you applied a fixed img height attribute:
document.write(‘
‘)
what that will do is force both the width and height – so for 001.jpg (which is 900×627), it will show at 870-something x 600, and your 2nd picture (which is 900×600) will show at just that – 900×600. but, like you noted, that creates for layout hiccups…
if you have that height forced, i would take each image in photoshop and make sure that it is no taller than 600 pixels (and even better, make sure that all the horizontal images are 900×600 and all the vertical ones are N (you decide) x 600 high) – that way, they will all show at the same size and the controls won’t move around…
does that make sense? sorry – it’s early on a sunday and i’m not yet full of coffee…

i didn’t try this in ie, but safari had them very small. firefox worked, though – your culprit is here:
document.write(‘
i would put a fixed pixel width and height for the images or just not include a width tag at all – safari doesn’t like that as it stands, but sans width and height tags, it should show ok…
hope that helps!

i was unable to verify any problem with the link – can you provide more details as to the exact issue?

hello…
you can do it with both php and javascript, but it’s easier with php – you can use either the include_once or require_once directives:
https://us.php.net/include_once
basically you make your nav file somewhere and then include it in each page where you want it – you can do any kind of code that each page uses with this technique (like page footers, etc.)..
hope that helps!
