when i put my background image in it stacks itself -- repeating itself again and again. [i don't want it to tile either]

i just want the background to appear once.

[you can see this if you go to -- click on audio|video -- then on mp3 downloads.]

i just want ONE background.

--

can someone tell me very specifically how i can do this. much appreciated.

Use CSS to control the background repeat

background-repeat:no-repeat;

html/css forum215

W3 Schools CSS

chris hirst --

thanks -- but i have no idea what you're talking about.

--

what is CSS? where is it located? and --

background-repeat:no-repeat; ?????????

where would this be placed? is this a menu pulldown choice? part of a code?

i don't understand what you attempted to say.

can you walk me through the steps.

i'm sure since i'm talking about background image it can't be that difficult.

Hmmm! CSS = Cascading Style Sheets
tutorial and reference on the W3Schools link
Tek-Tips forum as well forum215

One way to use the no-repeat property is to put it into the page. Add this between the <head></head> of your document
Assuming the <body> tag
Code: 
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image:url(YourImageNameGoesHere);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
</style>

this is what CSS and HTML can do CSS Zen Garden
