Full screen background

I'm trying to implement a supersized background slideshow into a website and have hit a number of issues. Firstly I can't get the images block area to be small in edit mode so that I can add more than one using the code below is there a solution (have a I got the code right?)

<?php  if ($c->isEditMode()) { ?>
      <div style="height: 100px">
      <?php  } ?>
<div id="supersize">
   <?php
   $a = new Area('Background Images');
   $a->display($c);
   ?>
</div>
<?php 
      // we use the "is edit mode" check because, in edit mode, the bottom of the area overlaps the item below it, because
      // we're using absolute positioning. So in edit mode we add a bit of space so everything looks nice.
      ?>
      <?php  if ($c->isEditMode()) { ?>
      </div>

Viewing 15 lines of 17 lines. View entire code block.

 
<?php  if ($c->isEditMode()) { ?>
      <div style="height: 100px">
      <?php  } ?>
 
<div id="supersize">
   <?php
   $a = new Area('Background Images');
   $a->display($c);
   ?>
</div>
 
<?php 
      // we use the "is edit mode" check because, in edit mode, the bottom of the area overlaps the item below it, because
      // we're using absolute positioning. So in edit mode we add a bit of space so everything looks nice.
      ?>
 
      <?php  if ($c->isEditMode()) { ?>
      </div>
      <?php  } ?>

Hard to say but yes, isEditMode is the right method to check for this.

What exactly is the problem? Doesn't the output (html) change with the code you've published?

Just an idea: I did pretty much the same thing but I used tony's multiple file attribute add-on and used it to assign several files to each page. Worked quite well for me!
