Background Repeat

H

Harvey

I am trying to keep the background from repeating on a page with no success.
Here is the current code, which is obviously wrong, but I have tried every
other syntax I can think of and none of them work:

</head>

<body background="images/lamppostheader.gif" {no-repeat}>

</html>

Some references I see seem to say that this is only possible in css. Is that
true? Also, can this be made to work wiyh Firefox as well as IE?

I would appreciate clarification on the use of this command.

Thanks,
Harvey

Hi Harvey,

Yes, it's done with CSS. Use the "background-repeat" style, and set it to
one of the following:

repeat-x
repeat-y
repeat
no-repeat

Example:
<body background="images/lamppostheader.gif"
style="background-repeat:no-repeat">

The above line, with inline CSS, will work with all browsers.
