Last weekend I had the same questions. (http://www.sparkt.com/index.htm) I ended up using a stretching methodology: width: 100% on the fade across the top. And height: 100% for the shadowed borders of the content.
Surprisingly, (or not) I found that most of my needs to repeat background PNGs can be solved with this method. Hope this helps a little. Glen On 6/4/07, pd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Klaus is a legend. The solution to scale the background works very well for me. Perhaps the author of the jQuery PNG hack plugin (khurshid?) here: http://khurshid.com/jquery/iepnghack/ could code a flag option to cater for this? I simply edited the following in the 'hack' and it worked: Before: filter : function(src) { return "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (enabled=true,sizingMethod=crop,src='"+src +"')"; } After: filter : function(src) { return "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (enabled=true,sizingMethod=scale,src='"+src +"')"; } Interestingly changing the sizingMethod parameter hasn't effected the way the 'hack' treats PNg images that I don't want to be 'repeated'. Hence I didn't need to make it a variable though I think the 'hack' plugin could benefit from being set up to allow 'toggling' of this parameter for situations different to mine. I'll drop the author a line.
