Background Picture

[mike]

I noticed when inserting a background picture on my website, the picture
shows in panels. Is there a way that the picture can be expanded to the full
extent of the webpage?

the background will always tile, everyone has the browser window at
differing sizes and resolutions, it will look different on each computer,
according to the right margin

you could create a large table and insert one large picture in the table

you could make the picture the size of the window. However, if you make it
look right on a 800X600 then it will be wrong on every other resolution.

how would he do that? by specifying a percentage instead of actual
dimensions?
so many monitor configurations,
so many clients do not understand the factors in web page design

how would he do that?

if you have a frame that is 700x600 then make the picture that same size.
However, as I stated if you design your page on a 800x600 resolution then it
will be wrong on others. In this example on a 640x480 (does anyone use this
anymore) the picture would be off the screen and in a 768x1084 or greater it
would tile the image.

by specifying a percentage instead of actual
dimensions?

don't think you can specify percentage for a background photo?

One way to do this is to create a fixed horizontal width to the display
area. I design for an 800 pixel width and present this in the horizontal
middle of the screen. So, no matter what size the visitor has his screen
resolution set to, it will be in the cventer of his screen in horizontal
placement. It will always be in the center of the screen at 800x600 and on
any resoltion that is wider.

Then I make my background image 800 pixels wide, if I dont want it to
"tile". Or, I use CSS to tile it only horizontally or only vertically.

The challenge for me was to get CSS to presnet that layer in the horizontal
middle of all screen on all browsers. But, I got it done.
