Dr.Jones Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 your background, "vista grass.jpg" is not uploaded. The file is not in http://www.geocities.com/jjson89/ Make sure to upload your background in the root folder of your web page. I can't remember the specific procedure for this with geocities, but the file needs to be there. Or you can change where it points to, in your html file. Also, don't forget to name your page ! "<title>Untitled Document</title>" Change that, it will look better Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432618-background-on-geocities/#findComment-587218784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you put it in a subfolder? Smctainsh Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432618-background-on-geocities/#findComment-587218802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 http://www.geocities.com/jjson89/vista%20grass.jpg in the source it shows: background="vista grass.jpg" geocities dont like spaces in file names rename the file to: "vista_grass.jpg" IIRC, upload it via the filemanager. Get hosting man Geocities suck (N) also this is in the wrong area, maybe: Web Programming (ASP, HTML, PHP, XML etc...)
