media type="custom" key="738835" You can add an image background to your menu frame

1. You will need to prepare the picture you want for the background and make sure it is resized to the size you want. It will tile if smaller than the page. (A normal page width is about 1000px). 2. Click 'insert image' button and upload your image to wikispaces. Do not place it on your page. 3. Click on the 'edit navigation' button to bring up the frame page and click the 'embed widget' button, click 'Other HTML' and paste in the following html. code  document.getElementsByTagName("body").item(0).style.background = "url(http://gettingtrickywithwikis.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/swirl.jpg) #777"; code 4. You will now need to edit the html a little. 5. Change the url to your own wiki url - I used mine but you will need to substitue it for your own. code http://gettingtrickywithwikis.wikispaces.com/ code 6. Change the image tag at the end of the url to your own image tag - mine was called swirl.jpg. You will need to substitute it with the name of your own image. code http://gettingtrickywithwikis.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/swirl.jpg code 7. Make sure you keep the rest of the url the same - i.e. '/space/showimage/' stays the same.

Now you have made a great background for your menu frame.

Using this technique you can make images in photoshop, including titles for your wiki, and bring them in to your wiki page. [|Example]

NOTE - You can also use the web address for any image on the web. If already on the web, they don't have to be uploaded to wikispaces.

Another little trick from [|mikebw] is to use the following code to keep the size of you background picture correct and avoid tiling. code  code Just substitute your url for his. - Thanks Mike.
