I want to do something, but don't know if I can.

This would be easier if I knew for absolute certain that I couldn't do what I wanted to do, but I don't. According to one book and two sites, one can modify an image by setting its max-width and height for the style boundries, my question is, has anyone done this, and if so, could they link me to an example?
I can ignore this and adapt accordingly, but figuring this out would be kind of nifty to me, and so I ask, thanks for your time, especially to those that have already glanced at my attempts.

Hello, Jon!

Are you trying to edit an image or the style box? I can help with both.

Also, if you would just like someone to edit some images for you so that they are of a certain size, I would love to assist you with that as well! Feel free to comment here or send me a PM.

Because of his Competency in Empathy magic, Pash exudes an aura of calm emotion that is always "on." While it's not strong enough to overcome extreme emotions and it also loses strength the more people he's around, it's still up to you how that affects your character in whatever situation we're in. PM with questions!

Do you mean like this?

In this case the style template has a background image, the width of the template is set to 620px, and the height is set to 550px. If you go past that height with the length of your text, it adds a scrollbar (that's what the overflow:auto does) and the image remains fixed in place. This works well as long as the background image is the same size or larger than the style template you're using; smaller will still work but just won't look as good.

Hope that helps?

EDIT: Not sure how your reader works, so here's the code too.

Code: Select all

[style=max-width:620px; height:550px; background-image:url(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4435/36456036593_e3487251a2_b.jpg); background-repeat:repeat; margin:auto; overflow:auto; color:white]content of post here[/style]
