I have a web page project due soon. It's required that all 4 of our pages are linked by the same external style sheet. Is it possible for me to have a different background for each page?

Yes, it's possible. Either specify the background individually within each HTML file (eg ), or if that's not allowed, then give each web page it's own ID and create a different background for each ID in the stylesheet.

Something like etc, then in your stylesheet you'd have #page1 { background: blue; } #page2 { background: red; } etc.

I *think* that should work, not sure about giving an id to a tag though.

ok. I'll try that. Thank You.

I've never tried to do this, but you may be able to declare an inline style on the body tag, and give it importance. Or you could leave out a background declaration on the main style sheet, then attach an additional seperate style sheet for each page, that defines a background image.

It's hard to get a DIV to fill up the whole background because many browsers won't stretch it 100% vertically.

we can't have seperate style sheets....just one I wish my prof. would let us use internal style sheets instead....they're much easier. It's required that we use the div tag somewhere on our pages, but I agree it would be hard to use it for the whole background. I've only used the div tag for a paragraph. I guess it doesn't hurt to try it though.

Another option would be; within the style sheet, make the path to the image relative. Then save each page in a seperate folder with a different background graphic. Each background graphic would have to have the same name.
