"un"-tiling background image

E

Hi all--
Using FP XP, how would I go about using a background image
that won't "tile"; that is have the image appear multiple
times?
Thanks in advance.

Ed,

Background images will always tile.

Depending on what your trying to do, you could put your
image in a Table as a background and just fix the table
to your imade dimension.

Hope it helps

Click to expand...

Try adding this to the <head> section (taking care, of
course, to adjust the background picture's URL).

<style>
<!--
body { background-image: url('images/background.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat }
-->
</style>

Otherwise, add blank space around your graphic so the
total pictures size is 1600x1200 or larger. If the "extra"
pixels at the right and the bottom are all the same color,
this will add very little to the overall picture size.

(BTW, never count on your regular page content "fitting"
into the background picture. The regular content will mvoe
around a bit, depending on the browser software and the
window size.)
