Hello. I'm looking for an image to use as a background to a web page. It's old-style computer paper which is banded green lines on white.
I would prefer a smallish image that can be accurately tiled. Alternatively, a large image with the pin holes that could be stretched slightly to fill the page.
Does anyone have a copy of such an image? Or perhaps point me to a suitable site? Thanks, Andy.

Google graph paper printouts. There are numerous styles to choose from.

Re: Computer paper image
Thank you but it's not graph paper.
You're obviously quite young! Many years ago there were large computer printouts, with holes to the left and right to fit a printer wheel.

I remember the paper, called tractor paper, if I'm not mistaken. Is this what you are looking for? Google tractor paper. JB

Re: Computer paper image
Found lots of tractors, but they won't look good as a background, unless I was a farmer :)
It seems the term is 'tractor feed paper' but I'm still searching. Perhaps I could order some and scan it ?!
It's not that important. Thanks, Andy.

Re: Computer paper image
Andy, it was often called Music Paper, how about this?

Re: Computer paper image
Other search terms to look for include 'continuous fan-fold' and 'pin-fed'.

Re: Computer paper image
I used to buy it in the tens of millions of pages as greenbar stock with perforated pin feed and even sometimes without the perforation.

Admittedly it has no tractor holes ....

Re: Computer paper image
I've changed by mind, sorry! I'm going to revise CSS and Javascript to do this. This way I can control the heights and colours of the bands.
I feel confident I can do this. I'll use the onload event to repeat "odd" and "even" divs which have a background colour and height.
The only issue I have is, how can I determine where the page finishes? I can determine the screen height, but is there a way (in Javascript) to determine
where the page content finishes? I suppose I could just use an arbitrary pixel height :(
(Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I'm practicing/revising HTML, CSS and Javascript at the moment.)
