I placed a background image for my website (size: 67KB). However, every time I
click a button linking to a different page in the site the background image
reloads and this adds a bad effect when changing pages. body {
background-image: url(background4.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:top; } Is there a way to make it so it doesn't reload
between pages or at least make it so the background image loads before the
actual HTML?

There is no way you can make the bg image load before the HTML. Have you got
a link to the page?

> reloads and this adds a bad effect when changing pages.

Not really, that's just how it goes, but if the bg image is already loaded
then it should appear instantly.

Your problem, really, is using a 67K image as a background image. Any way
you can make it smaller?

Anyhow, once that image is fetched from the server, it will be stored in the
local cache, so it's not really being "reloaded" from the server on each
page.

By the way, you do not need the 'background-position:top' style.

Thanks for all your help. I if make the image smaller than 67K then then it
looks undesirably worse. Also, I do need the positions attribute for the image
otherwise it slides into the default position which is not what i want.

Sorry - I was too quick. When used ONLY with "top", you are in effect using
'50% top'.

Top is the default position. Something else is wrong. Please publish the
page and post a link so we can see what's happening and review the code.
Otherwise everything is a guess.

Yes we need to see the page.Even a 1000kb bg image should render immediately
once cached.

[/q] When I preview my site, a part of the BG image seems to flash white
like it was reloading. However, this BG image looks fine. Maybe it's because
I'm previewing the site locally? Ill try and have to site up sometime today,
although it will still be in its working stages.
