Hi. If you want to add a nice gradient and have text over the top of it, you'll need to either A) include the text in the gradient image, or B) add the image as a resource file, then export the source files of your template and modify the XSL for your view to include the gradient images as a background to the table cell (i.e. add to the style="" attribute: BACKGROUND-IMAGE:url(mygradient.png); BACKGROUND-REPEAT:repeat-x;)

Happy New Year all!

New Year New Look! - I am trying to jazz up our corporate infopath forms. How can I do a gradiant fill?

I noticed its been done on this example by Greg Collins here: www.infopathdev.com/files/folders/examples/entry52208.aspx but i cant view the video at work just wondering if anyone can tell me how it is done? I have tried using a .png image but then I can't add the text over the image.

Many Thanks

James
