How to put a Background in your Listing

The following HTML shows you how to put a Background in your listing using a plain colour down arrow

<TABLE BGCOLOR="BLUE">
<TR><TD>
This is my item description
<P>
Buy this great item!
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

It will look like this:

This is my item description

Buy this great item!

You dont have to use a blue background, experiment with other colours!


The next HTML shows you how to use an image as a Background in your listings down arrow

<TABLE BACKGROUND="http://www.yourimagehost.com/yourname/yourpicsname">
<TR><TD>
This is my item description
<P>
Buy this great item!
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

It will look like this-

This is my item description

Buy this great item!

The lilac image used in this background is one I have in my Boomspeed account, you will need to find backgrounds of your own and store them in a Picture Host Site like Boomspeed or with the space provided by your ISP.


If you'd like a border around your Table add a Border attribute to the Table tag like this down arrow

<TABLE BACKGROUND="http://www.yourimagehost.com/yourname/yourpicsname" BORDER="5">
<TR><TD>
This is my item description
<P>
Buy this great item!
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

And it will look like this-

This is my item description

Buy this great item!


You can experiment with different border sizes. You can even change the color of your border like this down arrow

<TABLE BACKGROUND="http://www.yourimagehost.com/yourname/yourpicsname" BORDER="5" BORDERCOLOR="PURPLE">
<TR><TD>
This is my item description
<P>
Buy this great item!
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

So it looks like this

This is my item description

Buy this great item!
