Background for a webpage

[Guest]

I'm trying to add a background to a webpage I am currently creating, however,
it keeps tiling the image in the background. Does anyone know how I can get
the image in the background only once, instead of having it tiled repeatedly?
Thanks!

Place this in the head section of the page in code view:

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

Thanks Steve, however the background is still tiling when the code is put in.
Any other suggestions?

If this is a background image you need to add the location of the image to
the CSS that Steve gave you. For example, switch to Code View and above the
</head> tag put:

<style type = "text/css">
body{
background-image:
url(images/myimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

If you wanted to center it you could add:

background-position : 50% 50%; so it would look like this:

<style type = "text/css">
body{
background-image:
url(images/myimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position : 50% 50%;
}
</style>

You can play with the percentages to move it to where you want it on the
page.

If you want your text to scroll over it you could add:

background-attachment : fixed;

So it would then look like this:

<style type = "text/css">
body{
background-image:
url(images/myimage.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position : 50% 50%;
background-attachment : fixed;
}
</style>

You'd just keep adding to the CSS style until you get what you're looking
for. You can do a search for CSS or stylesheets for more about them or take
a look at

I cannot see how Steve's suggestion would not work.

Can you post the URL which is having the problem

I think she wants to use an image and needs to add:

url(images/myimage.jpg);

to what Steve posted

OK, this makes more sense (together with your later post)

OP says -

"Thanks Steve, however the background is still tiling when the code is put

My guess is that she has put the CSS in the wrong place. We'd need to see
her code to know for sure.

Sorry for my delayed rsponse, so this worked however one last question, how
to I stretch it so that it fits the entire page? thanks!

Background images do not stretch. If it does not fit, you need a bigger
image, or a background colour that compliments the image.

You need to create a bigger graphic. You could change the width in
FrontPage but then it will look fuzzy and distorted.
