HTML - Background Question

Normally when I add a background image to a frame the image repeats itself in a tiled fashion, you know what I mean.

Is there any way to change this so it only shows the background image once.

I don't want tiled.

Thanks!!

Ok, newbie here...
I have two questions about background pics...

I downloaded an image which I want to use as a background pic. The pic is located in the same folder as the my html script (Wordpad).
I can get it to display but the pic is "broken up"; the image basically cuts off on the right, and then starts over. How can I fix it?

This is a page for my sister-in-law; I wanted to email her a sample page but when I test-emailed it to myself, the background pic didn't display. I am pretty sure it has to do with the path; any recommendations?

Thanks so much for your help!

Is it possible to put a smaller background image on top (like in layers) of my old background image? I have a background image, but I want to put a smaller image on top of that one, but for it to be treated also as background image. This image is a black vertical rectangle, but is faded on the edges to give a transparency, so its a .png. So ultimately what I am trying to do is put this black rectanlge on top of my original background image and with the transparency on the edges of this image, be able to see my original background image. How can I do so? Also what I was thinking was that this faded background would be scaled to fit different screen sizes, so do "width: 75%"? Just so that it ALWAYS stays at 75% no matter what screen size it is viewed on. Is this the right approach towards getting this result?

nevermind...

Thank you for helping and this site is awesome! Take care...

Well, It looks fine, unless you view it in full screen, if you view it in full screen you'll notice that the white and grey backgrounds extend along with the main background, I want the white and grey background to stop where the footer is, and the main background (#cccccc) to continue on down.

You can use View > Source for the source code (as it's rather big and I'd rather not have something that big in my post)

CSS Code:

Quote:
.leftcolumn{
width:273px;
padding-left:9px;
padding-bottom:20px;
background: #F1F1F1;
float:left;
text-align:left;
}
.rightcolumn{
width:503px;
float:right;
text-align:left;
}
left column = grey column
right column = white column

hi in this site www.muaythaistuff.com they have some tatoo kinda background and i have tried to put this one on my site and it makes a lot of them in one page so my question is how can i set this tatoo image only in the top like in this very site and the rest will be black color?

I've just put up a new page - mbccc.net - and I've used a picture, a .jpg image file, for the background.

Sometimes it displays alright but sometimes it doesn't - sometimes it begins to 'tile' at the edge. When I view the page in my IIS on localhost it always does that. When I view it in my html editor - NVU - it always does it.

My question is why does it do that and what can I do to prevent it?

The picture is 196kB .jpg of 1024 x 768 pixels. I've been viewing in Firefox, what it does in other browsers I don't know.

What should we do if we want to use pictures for background?

regards,

I'd like to have a scaling background like on this site: www.burton.com
I'm using DreamWeaver, is this possible?

P.S., I'd also like to build a scaling x-y navbar like they have on that site if it's possible. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I wanted to use an image for the background of my page, but also have a DIV layer with images that look like they are coming out of it. For some reason though when I set the image as the background, it becomes just a bit brighter. This completely throws off what I'm trying to do because there are elements of the background in the DIV layer image and now the DIV image looks darker than the background ruining the effect.

So I've tried to solve the problem by putting this huge background image as a DIV layer and aligning it to top: 0 left: 0. The colors now match.

The problem is though that the image is way bigger than the browser window so scrollbars appear on the sides. I don't want this. Can anyone offer a suggestion to either of my problems?

Thanks!

Hi i have an issue with my background not displaying correctly. I know i have not sliced the template etc but i can only assume the same problem will occur when i do.

I have set a background image to the page but its not inline with my image background, How would i go about making sure everything is lined up when publishing it? Ive messed around with margins etc but there seems to be a default margin at the top which i cant remove.

Okay, I have this background image...it's fine and dandy...but I want the stripes on the left side to continue to go down the page if more information is put on the page and it not stop at where it does on the page. I can't repeat it because THE EXOTIC ZOO will be repeated too down the page. Any suggestions of what to do?

Here is the page I'm talking about: http://thexoticzoo.webs.com/rats.html
