No Repeat Background with a twist

Hello

I'm automating inserting backgrounds into web pages, so far i have been able to insert the following into the htm file and it works:

<body background="word.bmp">

The problem i have is that it repeats, what i don't need. The positioning is fine i just need it to show once. And i need the coding to be in the htm file not the css file.

Any help please. Been stuck for ages.

First of all using bmp's for websites: bad idea, they can be really huge, and some browsers don;t support them.

Second can't you just add a style tag to the body element:

Code: 
<body background="word.bmp" style="background-repeat:no-repeat;">

----------------------------------
Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

You'll need to use CSS on this. You can use an inline style like
Code: 
<body style="background-image: url('word.bmp'); no-repeat;">
I'd avoid .bmp format if possible.

Hello

Thanx for all your responses. Yes using a bmp isn't the best of plans, so i will be changing the format. Thanx for the tip.

Also tried out your ideas with no prevail. I can't really use the css file as my program automates the adding of backgrounds to the html file, so i would really like the coding to be in the html file.

If there is no way then there is no way and i would have to look at some how automating it to the css file, but if there is a way, it will save me a lot of time.

Thanx for your time so far.

You still can. Use the inline CSS examples that have been provided.

Quite right - took too many shortcuts pasting that one together.
