Body background

How can I set body background with an image, but centered and not tiled?

When I put background="ima ge1", it fills my page with the image many times.
I only want to put at the beggining and centered. I don't won't to use <img
src="image1"> because I have a choice menu that I want over the image.

IE only or all browsers. For all browsers, you will have to make a DIV with
a Z-order that places it in back. This is easiest when you use the grid
layout in Visual Studio .NET (ie, you set all items into DIVs). A Panel can
be used to set the watermark in, as a panel control becomes a DIV when
rendered.

To see this in action (outside of VS.NET), you can go to:
http://www.ricocheting.com/js/watermark.html

To set a watermark for IE only, simply choose the body element (right click
a page and go to properties in VS.NET) and set bgPropeties to fixed. That
will cement the image as a watermark.

Hi, ruca,

You should do some reading on cascading style sheets, I think. Anyway, try:

<body style="backgrou nd: url(images/background.jpg) no-repeat center center
transparent;">

Just change "images/background.jpg" with the path+filename of your image.

Greetings

hi there, I created two different backgrounds for the same page to obtain a (fake) left margin and a (true) right margin. -> left background, defined in body section, aligned bottom and with vertical repeat. -> right background, defined in html section, aligned top and without repeat it may look weird, but I don't think my problem is due to these margins.

Hello, I'm trying to apply different backgrounds to a page based on the BODY element class. It's working on some browsers but not on others. I've searched Google and the groups, pored through my trusty O'Reilly books, but I can't find anything that suggests this isn't valid. I cut down the stylesheet and the page to the bare minimum, but the difference still appears.

If in my CSS I set the "background-color" property on the "body" element, it only covers the background of the elements defined in the body, up to the current width and height of the page. However, if the current component set has a resulting small height, this leaves most of the page with the original background color (white). However, if I set the property on the "html" element instead, it does color the entire visible page, beyond the...
