How do they do this?

[kinjalgp]

I have seen in many websites that when we scrolldown the site, the background picture remains where it was but the text on it scrolls up giving a cool 3D effect. Can anyone tell me how it is done?

Thanks

Easy as sliced bread!

HTH!
Now a small trick: when you see something interesting in a page, right-click on it, ans study the source code! That´s the best way to learn.

Just a word of advice, this only works in IE I think.

Thanks a lot juan. I have just begun learning HTML so it was not EASY AS SLICED BREAD for me.

Thanks a lot once again.

I have neveer heard that before...
but truthfully, HTML is easy
VERY easy
the hardest things for me is frames and forms.
I have only made a few websites with frames, and I dont use forms very much, so I didnt really learn them, because i dont really need them.

but go to http://www.htmlgoodies.com, its where I learned html.
i Love that place.

Note: If web pages have the right-click dis-abled(mostly stupid sites that think there code is actully original) Hah! You can hold escape right click still holding escape then release escape still holding right click and the menu appears!
This works for framed pages where the menu View | Source doesn't show the right source.
I'm also not sure if this works in Netspace. I use Internet Explorer because Netscape is inferior.

I didn't know that Dig. I'll have to put that in my Black Book

Forms are wierd at first but they are pretty simple once you realize how they work. I use them all the time now.
Frames take a while to get used to though.

1- I'm glad I was helpful

2- I too hate frames, I don't like frames, but sometimes you have to use them: in my site I have a music background, and had to put it in a frame, so when the visitor goes to other pages the sound keeps sounding!

3- "Easy as sliced bread"? Where did I heard that before? (English is not my first language...)

Cheers!

I don't have too much difficulty with forms or frames, my biggest problem is tables. I don't know why but I just don't get them. I suppose I just need to practice or something, never really needed them.

didnt need tables?
tables are THE MOST useful thing HTML has to offer.
everything is made of tables, whether they have borders or not. table are NEEDED if you want to get a good designed website.. those without tables look poor....

you'll find out how good tables are as soon as you learn them. I didnt think I needed tables... but when I learned them, I also learned i could not live without them...

and about the no-right click.. thats junk..

I get around it by doing this


>right clicking
>holding button down
>pushing space bar to get rid of alert box
>let go of right button

SIMPLE !
I dont even bother using the no right click things... it looks so unprofessional when you take a look-see at the source code and you are trying to be blocked by a message that says
"no-no thiz source iz copyrited me, so f***'z off you *****'z"

and the most annoying part, is after you bypass the bullshi* security you see code, that they havent even taken of the original copyright written by the people who actually wrote the code..(like the noright click)

OK, this thread appears to be more about fames and tables now than fixed backgrounds....

I always have a frame in my index/default page so when the user follows links or posts data the url doesn't show up in the address box (or whatever you want to call it)

I think it looks neater that way that's all.
