    Anybody know how to get a watermark on a webpage to transfer to a printout of the page. For example, I have a GIF containing the word DRAFT which I want as a watermark, and I do this with:
    <BODY BACKGROUND="draft.gif">
    This works fine to view the page, but dissapears when you print the page.

    That's because it's possible to disable backgrounds when printing - and as it's client side there's nothing you can do about it :)

    Short of actually adding the image to the site normally I'm not sure what you can do

    You can try to use layers or set the image as one of tag then set it position in the web page.
    <html><head></head>
<body>
Your web page

<div>
   <img src="draft.gif" style="Filter:Alpha(Opacity=50);" style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;" galleryimg="no">
</div>

</body></html>

    style="Filter:Alpha(Opacity=50);
    This will turn the image see through, you can play areound the value from 50 to 30 or any other number

    style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;"
    This sets the image to the top left corner of page. If your image is small then you coud set this to the center of page.

    galleryimg="no"
    Disable the image toolbar on the image in IE.

    Let us know if this works :)

    str8_away - that's a good idea. I thought of doing something like that aswell, but it'd have to be added onto each page manually (unless they're being generated automatically ANYWAY.
