ASCII art background help
Hi everyone. I'm making a personal webpage to host my bio, resume, portfolio, and XBRL example project (XBRL is a new accounting standard using XML. The SEC has ruled that every corporation will have to report all transactions and financial statements in this XML format starting next year).
I've made an old school amiga style ASCII art of my name that I want to use as the background (black background with light green or white characters) I'm wondering how I should implement this.
Should I put it in a div and use z-index?
Or should i just make a jpeg out of it?
Which doctype do I use to make it display properly?
Do I need to write js to catch browsers who won't display the amiga properly?
My thinking here is that the text can be styled in relative values, so the background will be just the right size no matter the screen size. Both text and image look great on my 1360x768 at home, but the jpeg gets all kinds of cropped on the cell phone running 640x480. Also, I have a feeling IE will not display my ASCII art properly. Again, this is for my resume, so it really needs to work no matter the browser/screen configuration. I'm a decent programmer, but this is a little outside my area of expertise (I'm more of a numbers guy, and don't normally do the artsy stuff). Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
