You are probably going to get some laughs out of me on here lol

I'm an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER in html therefore my questions are going to be soooooo easy to answer lol

.... and bear with me... if i sound like I don't know what I'm doing...it's cos i DON'T know what i'm doing haha

I'm not building anything in particular...just having a dabble... i'm loving it... but i want a .gif background but the .gif never appears..i'm sure i'm making a stoopid mistake lol

Make sure your gif is in your image folder
You need an image folder to place your gif's and jpgs in

Make a folder say in your documents, name it Lilpinks webpage. Inside that folder is where your index and other html pages go and your image folder, this is where you store all your images you want to use in your webpage. Now when you build a page direct the link to the image folder.

Ta Liljim

I have already tried all the combinations you said.... I'm guessing it's something i'm missing with the editor I'm using... it's a free one with no manual that I can find... soooo I'm gonna try another one... just to see if it's me or the editor that's roobish !!!

Clean slate so to speak.. hehe

Thanx for that link.... it looks amazing...

I have been here there and everywhere searching for info.. I can't believe how much stuff there is out there.... but you n Geekgirl have given me 2 of the best links.... so I'll go n get on wid it !!!!!

Microsoft frontpage is a good editor for beginners,very easy to work with however,its not free.

You might want to try out though,its a free editor that has quite alot of features,according to their site of course.I've never used it but it looks interesting.
