Automatic background resizing

Guest

Hi guys,

I have a little question I hope you can answer for me :)

I want to create a website with a background picture. I have tried this
using the Themes option and just ticking the "Background Picture" box on the
page properties and my problem persists. :(

The problem is, I want the background picture to resize to the size of the
screen the user is using to a maximum of 1280 x 1024. If I resize the
picture using Paintshop Pro to 1280 x 1024 and then view the website on 1024
x 768 you can only see part of the background picture.

Similarly, if I resize the background picture to 800 x 600 in Paintshop Pro
and then view the webpage on 1280 x 1024, the background does that "tile"
type effect where the pciture starts again at each edge where the original
finishes which is also not what I want.

I just want the picture to "dynamically" resize depending on the screen
resolution of the user.

Thanks for nay assistance in advance.

This cannot be done.
But if it could, how would you deal with a screen resolution of 2560x1024,
with the browser opened in a window 800x600?
Or, more conventionally, a 1024x768 screen resolution, with a full screen
browser with the favourites sidebar displayed?

You can stop the background image tiling using CSS in the <head> section of
the page:

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