Please I hope someone can help me. I have been searching google for 4 hours now - I'm way too frustrated to continue.....it's too early to break out the hard stuff.
Anyway, I need so save this backround color as a jpeg image so I can upload it into my shopping cart as the backround color. I have published it on the web, but it won't let me do the "save backround as". Is there something in windows that will let me do it? I have tried paint, picture it, everything I can think of. Here's the code
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFF8e1>
Please help

you don't need to save a flat color as a jpg file for background. Just add the color code to the tag and you are good to go.

That's the problem. This website store is way too "user friendly" for non-computer saavy people. It won't let me put in my own color numbers. I either have to pick one of theirs (nothing matches even close) or upload a file. I saved it as an html document through front page, but it won't take it as that. I think they want a jpeg image.

I doubt that you'll be able to load a background as a JPEG as the site will think it's a picture and not a background. You're probably stuck with their selections.

Put in one of their selections then go in and edit the code on the back end. There should be some spot for you to "view source" or "view html"

There's not a place to view source until you publish it to the web. I tried to then download it to front page, edit the color and republish it, but for some reason it didn't take the changes.
I am definately getting a concave butt over this

ihula,
Do they have a choice for a jpeg or gif as a background fill? If they do you should be able to make a small jpeg or gif of you background.
This is a possible solution if they do and you have a graphics program that can crop and save:
Open your page with the background color you want. Press the "Print Screen" button. I am using my Mac and do not have a PC in front of me but I think that is what the right name and it is toward the top of the keyboard. This will copy the entire screen to the clipboard. Open your graphics program and ask to make a new file. Do a Paste from the menu and you should have a picture of the entire screen. Use your square tool to cut a small area of solid color. Save it as a jpeg or gif (if the web site allows that) and name it something like mycolor.jpg. If the site allows graphics for background fill you can upload this and it should work.
Good luck

That worked! I can't even believe it - I practically have tears in my eyes (ok, I actually do, but I have been working on this for 6 hours now). You are a lifesaver - I can't thank you enough!!!!

Back when I was using background, it had to be uploaded as a gif file. For some reason if I did it as a jpg file, it would over-take my text and make a color box with the text below it. Try uploading as a gif and see if that corrects the problem.
