Defining a background image or page color

Use the Page Properties dialog box to define an image or color for the page background. If you use both an image and a background color, the color appears while the image downloads. If the background image contains any transparent pixels, the background color shows through.

To define a background image or color:

1 Choose Modify > Page Properties, or select Page Properties from the context menu in the Document window.
2 Set a background image and/or a background color:
Click the Browse button (Windows) or Choose button (Macintosh) to browse to and select the image, or enter the path to the background image in the Background Image box.
Dreamweaver tiles (repeats) the background image if it does not fill the entire window, just as browsers do.
Choose a background color from the Background color box.
See Choosing colors.
