Guest

some of the jpegs ive used for backgrounds fit just fine, but others seem to
be too small to fill the background without repeteing, what do i have to do
and how do i resize the jpeg so that i dont have anoying lines runnin
through my backgrounds? Id appreciate any help any one can give.

Images used as background must be sized to fit.

You can use an image editor.

This one is free http://irfanview.com/

If you increase the size of an image, it can become blocky, so this is best
done with simple images such as a one-colour image or one with only vertical
and horizontal lines or blocks of colour.

Do not do anything to images in FrontPage if you want to preserve
quality.
If you mean "Is there any HTML that will resize a background image?" No
there isn't.

You can use CSS to fix the image into position, and prevent it tiling:

In the <head> section in code view:

<style type="text/css">
body {background:#000033 url('images/background.jpg') no-repeat center;}
</style>

Change the background colour (#000033 above) to match the overall colour
of the image, and the path/image name to suit your requirements.

You can resize images in FP, sort of. I would suggest doing it in something
like Photoshop if you can, then saving back to the site. If you can't, then
open the site in frontpage. Open the image file, by right clicking and
choosing open with.... If you have photoshop or another program choose it,
otherwise you can change the size with MS Office Picture Manager.
