Applying a jpeg picture as background

I'm trying to use a picture that I have created using Adobe Photoshop 7 as the background for each of my pages. I've saved the picture as a jpeg.

How would I go about doing this? Import the picture into Frontpage and then apply it to each page, or is there an easier way? Also, what size should I make the picture? Right now I have it at 800x600.

Thanks,

HCJ

Well if you want to use FP - the background will repeat or tile. Meaning that if your image is 800X600 & someone view it on a 1280&1024 screen, they will see the image repeating.

You can use CSS to place the image in the background once & have it not to repeat if you desire (placed in the <HEAD> :
Code: 
<style type="text/css">
body
{ 
background-image: url("images/background.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

Or you can create a table that is 800X600 & use that image as the background. And the place everything else inside that table.

So should I change the size of my gradient background made in Photoshop to 1280X1024? Also, when using the code given, in parenthases () I should apply where the image is located correct?

Thanks,

That is up to you. What size do you want your website "catered" to. If someone views it at 800X600 or 1024X768 - the backgdound will not be seen completely.

That is correct - change the path to the oath of your background image.
