Avoid tiling of background picture

curious2001 · Jun 20, 2001

Hi all!
Is there anyway to avoid automatic tiling of a background picture in the <body> tag... i.e just have it centered and of it's original size, whatever the user's resolution?

Thanks.

Hi,

Click the tab "keyword search".
Fill in the keywords "background" and "tiling"
Click scope = Html and css (...
Click use = "all words"
and finaly click "Search!"

and magic ..... you will find some answers!

Good luck

Erik

I don't think visitors can do a keyword search...

Here's an example, place this code between the <head> and </head> tags:
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url("yourimage.gif&quot

;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
}
</style>

ErikL,
I did try a keyword search before posting, but as aperfectcircle pointed out, visitors can't do it!
And yes! I am a member but can't log in at the moment!

Thank you aperfectcircle.

This solution seems to work fine in IE, but not with NS.
Picture is left aligned!
Any clues?

I have not found a way in NN to overcome. If your page is layed out with a table or table cell in the position where you want your image set the image as a cell backgroung. Really depends on your layout.

Good Luck!

NN4 won't support the background-position property... In my opinion, the best solution is to not support NN4.
