Center Background Picture ?

R

Ray Mooney

I want to use a picture as my background, except when I insert the picture
in the page it becomes "tiled" and the entire picture is not displayed.

Is there a way to set the picture as my background and have the entire
picture centered and displayed? I can't seem to find a setting for that.

It is a "frame" page if that makes a difference.


Thanks in advance for any help!!

This will drive you nuts.

Click to expand...

Use CSS -

<body style="background:position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;">

Where do I insert the body style adjustment?
When I put it in before or after the background command my picture
disappears.....

<body background="Images/Sunset-Sea%20Oats.jpg"><body>

Just use something like this:

<body background="cells.gif">

Where cells.gif is your image file. Make sure it is in the correct
location.

That does not do what I want. This is a frame-page and the picturre is
"tiled" on the page and I want it centered.

You can not apply a background to the frameset
- only to each frame which is a separate window

You can only have one <body> tag in a page.

First, rename all your files and folders to remove spaces. Replace the
spaces with hyphens or underlines.

Then replace your <body> tag with (should all be on one line):

<body style="background: url(Images/Sunset-Sea-Oats.jpg) center
no-repeat;">

Note that spaces in file and folder names can break links.

I should have said that you need to enter the tag on each and every page
appearing in the frameset. This means, format your each page as you
wish then link them to your frames.
