Styling the footer
The footer is usually used for a back to the top link and or web site/company details.
On this occasion, we will use it as an introduction to using graphics in your styling. First we need a background tile. It just so happens that i have one here.
Right click the image and save to your web site files. Remember where you put the image but anywhere in your web files will do.
Click inside the #footer <div>
It will now be highlighted in the Manage styles task pane
Select modify style
From the category list select background
Browse to the image that you have saved
You will no doubt see the preview!
This is not how it is supposed to look so we need to tame the style a little
Click on the Background repeat drop down
Select repeat x
Select Position from the Category list
For the height type
20
make sure px is selected
Click OK
You can see now we have controlled the style.
If you want, you can type a back to the top link or add company details.
Your page should be looking like this.
