css background image

[rebnei]

I am trying to use an image as a background, just 1 image centered on the page. I have tried using css (background category) but i just seem to get variations in tiling. I only seem to get part of the image and only the line where the curser is, why doesn't it apply to the whole page background? I have even tried using the code suggested in the FAQ's on this site, but i don't get anything at all then. Sure this must be something really simple - i just can't see it! Any help would be great. Thanx

if you want your image to appear only once and right in the centre of the screen you should be able to use...

.background {
background-image: url(images/background.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position-x: center;
background-position-y: center;
}

sorry if you've already tried this, but it works for me.

hope this helps,

ss...
