No.

Read through this for a while to get the hang of it.

And please don't use that for your web background, it's too busy. (In fact you should never use animated GIFs for your background.)

Yeah don't use an animated gif for a background. People will hate you for it

I made a site with an animated gif for a background once.....not pretty at all.

I agree but its a request.

Thanks for the site Bic.

You look really new to this so I also suggest www.htmlgoodies.com

It's where I learned everything I know about HTML and CSS, but after a while you kind of have to find new resources. Also, just... don't use that background. If that person insists slap them in the face or at least use only one of the frames from the image and set that as the background. Animated gifs are ugly, they make scrolling very slow, and they're frowned upon by anyone who knows HTML.

For some reason this forum won't let me post the code, so look here;

Also, I recommend something like photobucket and not hotprofileplus; the image will probably get deleted after a while.

Thanks for the site.

Normally i wouldn't do this even for a request but the request comes from a beautiful girl.
