Does anyone know how to use a graphic as a background image in Wikipedia? I'd like to try an experiment and place the puzzle globe behind the 4 lines of text of the header. Any help/guidance you can provide would be most appreciated. --Go for it! 06:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Here ya go.. (see source code to understand):

Though, this is very difficult to read. You may prefer one that is slightly transparent.

A version with the little puzzle globe on the right.. the text on the left is vertically aligned and it works well with any text-size. drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 23:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Mozilla-specific code is entirely unsuitable. The actual image file would need to be adjusted, but I still don't think that this would look good. —David Levy 22:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

The Mozilla code I assume you're speaking of (-moz-opacity) isn't the only tag put in there.. there's also the IE one and the future opacity: tag. The opacity thing doesn't seem to work in Opera, though.. drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 23:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, people with IE should be able to view this page properly (even though I HATE IE). If we can overcome that...I love it.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 23:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I also loved the idea. --Quinlan Vos 00:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
