(The in-line image must be LOADED onto the page for this to work. So go ahead and squick your mouse's LEFT button on the image to load it, if it hasn't already loaded.)
First, place your mouse pointer on top of the image you wish to
save -- then squick your RIGHT mouse button -- a pop-up menu
appears with the choice to SAVE the image to your hard disk --
do it! You can change the name of the image if you want, and you can save the image to any
directory on your hard-drive.
these are just a little trickier. You can also use the following steps to save in-line images if your mouse has only one button.
Use the VIEW MENU Document Source option and find the BODY tag usually somewhere near the top of the document source. It might look something like this:
<HTML>
<head>
<title>The Background Image Story
</title>
</head>
<BODY BACKGROUND="rainbow.gif">
inside this tag is the BACKGROUND= command. This will give you the name/location of the image file. Copy, or remember, this filename -- then exit the Doc Source window and return to the web page. In the Location field is the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the page. It looks something like this:
ADD the image filename to the URL, so it looks like this --
and press ENTER -- the image will load on its own page, and you can use either your RIGHT mouse button or the FILE MENU Save As to save the image to your disk.
NOTE: If the URL already has a filename, similar to this --
then REPLACE it with the image filename, like this --
This page you are reading does not have a background image. If you would like to see what a simple rainbow bar image like this --
looks like as a background image, squick on the following, then test yourself by seeing if you can save the "rainbow.gif" image from the GeoCities page -- remember to press LOAD IMAGES (if you don't have images set to load automatically) --
