I wanted to use an image as a background, but i didn't want the background to tile(setting the image in the page properties) if i tried to adjust it just by inserting as an image , it wouldn't fill the entire page. if there is any helpful way to fill a page w/ an image w/out tiling and not revealing a white edge(if i insert it as an image) any tips would be helpful.
 
its not really possible without doing several instances and that takes a lot of work...teh best bet is to make a layer the size of the image an insert the image into that layer...but then again im just a n00b

X-)

DEEEEEECEEEEEE
 
This works, but I doubt Eugene woudl recommend it.

(1) insert a layer. left and top values 0, width and height value 100%

(2) insert and image into the layer, make the width and height vlaues 100%.

Put everything else in layers on top of it.
 
Hi
Yes I have done it and it works with only AOL and Internet Explorer browsers. All you do in insert the image as normal in the page properties. Make sure the image is sized to fit the entire background of your frame or table cell or however you have your layout. What I did is hand coded <bgproperties=&quot;fixed&quot;> into the html document. That will keep your background fixed and not scrolling or tiling. Hope this answered your question.
 
What surfchik says is fine, but when you do it, make sure you take into consideration different resolutions.

If your background takes up the whole screen in 800 x 600, it won't in 1024 x 728 or higher, and it will look pretty shitty.

Best to make it take up your whole screen in at least 1024 res.
