Question

Is there away to set a background image on a webpage when the webpage is based on a masterpage. Notice its not the background of the masterpage i want to change, but the background of the page which use the masterpage.

Answer 1

You can just add a style rule for body{} or whatever on the actual ASPX page. It will override any style set at the master page level.

edit: example:

<%@ Page Title="Example" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/Main.master" 
    AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="TroubleShootScanning.aspx.cs" 
    Inherits="SpectrumTechnologies.TroubleShootingScanning" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="mainContent" runat="server">
    <style type='text/css'>
        body { background-image: url(images/bgimage.jpg); }
    </style>
    <!-- the rest of the page here -->
</asp:Content>

This will override any values set in a stylesheet.
