Probably an easy question, but cant figure it out. I'm useing Frontpage 2003 creating a website. I want to add a background picture to the page but I dont want that picture to repeat if the page ends up longer than the pic. Is that possible?

yes...

are you using plain old HTML or are you using CSS in there too?

you could make the pic stay in position as the page is scrolled

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:
url('background.jpg');
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-attachment:
fixed
}
</style>

Just plain old html right now. I dont want the pic to stay in position either because its part of the header.

in that case, just use...

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image: url('background.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

Put that in the <head> of your page, and you should be fine.

Ok next problem. It needs to repeat across the page, but not down the page. its a 1x800 pic

background-repeat: no-repeat;

to...
background-repeat: x-repeat;

i think...my styles memory is rusty

background: #fff url(images/background.gif) repeat-x 0 0;


or


background: #fff url(images/background.gif) repeat-x left top;


Shorthand.
