Random background image

Hello
I am trying to have a random background image for my dnn 4.3.4 site.I don't think that we can do it with CSS ,so I tried to do it with the body tag of my html skin and it's not working at all,I cannot even place a background image with that tag using inline CSS.Any help will be appreciated.
thanks

Re: Random background image

I'm pretty sure the body tag of an html skin gets tossed out when the parsing engine goes through it because DNN has it's own body tag located in default.ascx
If you are using a JavaScript to cycle the images, you can refer to it like this in your skin.ascx: <script language="javascript" src="<%= SkinPath%>randomimagescript.js" />

Set the background-image for the body in the skin.css or skinname.css file like this:

#body{
background-image:url(image.gif);
}

Then add this at the bottom of your page:

<script type="text/javascript">
//Add function to load event of page

if (window.addEventListener){

window.addEventListener("load", InitAll, false);

}

else if (window.attachEvent){

window.attachEvent ("onload", InitAll)

}

function InitAll(){
//put you background-image switch code here
}
<script>
