How do I use a .jpeg as a background image without tiling in fp2000?

Thanks,

The image needs to be as big as the
browser window you want to use it in.

You make the image large enough not to tile. Note: This is not a deficiency
of FrontPage; it's a characteristic of HTML.

Hi Sandra,
set up a css rule, eg
<style type="text/css">
body{ background: url(picture.jpg) fixed center no-repeat; }
</style>

This will put your image in the centre of the screen, non tiling and
non-scrolling - take out center if you like

There are two methods.

o Enlarge the JPEG canvas to at list 1600 x 1200. If
you don't enlarge the picture, but only add solid-color
border at the right and bottom, this won't impact
the picture's filesize very much.

o Remove the background= attribute from your <body>
tag, then add a CSS rule such as the following to
the <head> section of your Web page.

<style>
BODY { background-image: url("images/juggler.gif");
background-repeat:no-repeat; }
</style>

The second method is technically superior, but may work
incorrectly in older browsers.
