adding a template to listing

[playtowin]

hi, please could somebody try and explain (in plain english as i'm pretty useless at this sort of thing)
how do i get a background template (is that what its called) to appear behind my descriptions on listings.
thank you in advance

you'll need to know html but at the beginning of your auction listing, something like <table background=http://whereyourimageis.com/yourimage.jpg> and then build your auction within your table.

with the wysiwyg editor, you'd create a table and then insert background, I think. I always write my code in straight up html, dont like the editors much

aah, you're a star thank you!
will give it a go (with a bit of help from the kids)- if you hear a scream, its just me.
Thank you

Go to any of my auctions, with the blue background, and right click in page (or from tools menu) and click on View Source, you'll probably have to sort through the extra stuff (unless you have Firefox with Web Developer add-on , then you can just highlight a bit and View Selection Source) and you can see how I do mine..

Or you could try http://robshelp.com/
There is a nice simple WYSIWYG html editor there.
If you like it then send him a donation.
I've been using it for a while

You are quite welcome.
I do make a point to send Rob donations every few months. He always answers emails if you have a problem. I have not told him about Ebid yet but will. There seem to be so many new restrictions on eBay...

Looks like a good idea. I might try it when I get home on some of my listings. I know a bit of HTML, but it would be a good refresher.
