I have searched this newsgroup, but cannot find an answer
to this question. Is there a way to have a page background
image that is completely 100% visible, no tiling, no
cropping, no matter what the viewer's screen size or
preferred viewing size? I am using Front Page 2000, and
know zero about HTML.

Thanks everyone in advance for your help
 
You cannot have the image change size... and you wouldn't want it to. You'll
have to make a very large image that won't tile.... and that's hard to do if
you don't want it to be too large a file size.. You might want to get jim
Buyens' book FrontPage Inside/Out. He even helps out here at this forum.

Ok, Great! Can you direct me to a tutorial for beginners
where I can learn about CSS?

ETC, yes you are correct, I DON'T want the image to change size. I
have made the image large enough to fill the screen, but when the page
is viewed on a smaller monitor, the image is cropped.

The image is not being crop, you just don't see the area that is larger the
current browser window. The only solution would be to create image for each
display size then test for the browser's window size, and display the
appropriate image, however this is not a good solution since folks may not
open their browser full screen, or they may have various browser menus, etc.
open.

Well, there is one way, but it's a little complicated. You can slice up an
image to put into table cells that form a border around your page content,
like so:

|---|-------------------------------------|-----|
| | | |
| A| B | C |
----------------------------------------------
| | | |
| | | |
| D| Content | E |
| | | |
| | | |
----------------------------------------------
| | | |
| F | G | H |
----------------------------------------------

The slices of the image, which form your "tv background" go into the
lettered cells as background images.

The content goes in the center. The slices for parts B,D,E, and G are tiled,
so that they stretch when the size of the cell stretches. The A, C, F, and H
cells are of fixed size.
