      Background Image

      In reply to Javascript question…

      You can’t directly change the background image in javascript as there is no document.background attribute (although there is a layer.background). One way that looks like it should work (I haven’t tried it myself) is to create a CSS style and apply it to the body (e.g. ). Styles in JavaScript have both a backgroundColor and backgroundImage.

      I’ve gleaned this from Netscape’s JavaScript Client Reference which is available from their DevEdge site.
