Hi all,

Does anyone know how to do the following. I want to set a background image on my webpage but it keeps repeating itself over and over. Does anyone know how to stop the background image from repeating?

I tried setting it as a tracing image but that didnt work - not really sure what they do to be honest

Please help

Put this in body tag:

<body bgProperties="fixed" background="path_to_image.gif">

Thanks radhika and Welcome to Webmaster-Talk.

I never knew that trick

Hi,

Sorry but that didn't do what I wanted it to do. That made the background fixed and only the text moved. The trouble I am having is that the background image is very smal and it keeps repeating itself over and over. Does anyone have the code so my background image only appears once?

Thanks

You could try css:

edited - Why won't it let me post the script? Am I being stupid?
Have tried just writing it, tried using[CODE]...nope, the code just vanishes when I submit the message.

Have a look here.

When posting code, you will need to use both [ code] [ /code]. In case you did that, then you can leave a couple of spaces where there is normally a space, as in

< STYLE type="text/css" >
< !--
BODY { background-image:url(bgpr1.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:bottom right;
background-attachment:fixed }
-->
< /STYLE >

I hope that helps.

Code:

< style type="text/css" >
body
{ 
background-image: 
url("your_image.gif");
background-repeat: 
no-repeat;
background-position: top center

}
< /style >

(set the value for the position of the image
using top center bottom pixel number or percentage)
-----------------
Cheers! It was the spaces. Why would that affect it?

P.S. I think izzy wants the image to scroll with the rest of the page content, so he doesn't need the "background-attachment:fixed" section. Or?
