I've edited a theme and applied my own background. The problem is is that it
duplicates itself on the page. I only want it to show up once on the page,
I've changed the size and related properties in Photoshop, but to no avail.

Can anyone assist please.

TX.

Use CSS to prevent the background from tiling. Put this in an embedded or
an externally linked stylesheet -

body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }

The reason the image duplicates is because it has to fill the page. So
becuase your image didn't fill the requirements it simply duplicated to make
up for it.

I also have a suggestion for you. Try this as a substitution:

<img src="whatever_your_image_is.bmp" style="position : absolute;left :
0;top : 0">

Hope that helps,

Mike

I beleive I understand what you are suggesting. My question is, where do I
put this piece of code, in every page? That would seem to be awkward.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ignore it. You cannot position a background image like that. Read my
suggestion - it will work.

Hi Murry, I'm not sure how to do this. I created a new Style (ex: MyStyle)
and tried to use Format, Style Sheet Links to link to my style sheet, but I
cannot find it. It is listed in Format -> Styles...

Doh???

Redefine the body tag in the FORMAT | Style dialog (select "body" and click
on Modify. Now for the inexplicably weird stuff. Select BORDER > Shading,
and you will see the option there for repeat.

Of course the simple way to do this is to enter the following directly in
the head of the page -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
-->
</style>

You can also get there with <body> > Properties > Advanced > Body Style >
Format > Border > Shading

Byzantine, huh?

By the way, I left the "Format" out of the previous option choices between
Modify and Border.

Also, to enable that field, you must have already applied your background
image.
