Background Photo

[Guest]

How do I get a photo I want to use for a back ground or a border to not tile?

When viewing at lower resolutions, things look fine, but when in higher
resolution, the photo tiles and looks like crap.

I've looked everywhere, but don't see a way to make it stretch instead of
tile.

Anyone?

You can't make it stretch. You can use CSS to position it centered.

And you can use CSS to make it not tile....

body { background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; }

which raises an interesting question - if the background is centered
vertically and horizontally, will it therefore not tile without use of the
background-repeat style?

That would be great, except the Apply CSS box is shaded out?

What next?

I did see Murray's reply and I'm sorry to say I haven't any idea what it's
saying.

To date, I've used FrontPage because it's not too difficult to use and still
have good results.

I don't know one single bit of HTML coding. Nada.

I'm not afraid to learn, I just don't want to make a career out of HTML.
FrontPage lets me be creative and do the design without learning EVERYTHING.
This is the first time I have been stumped.

So if you could, please take a couple minutes to spell it out so this
knucklehead can learn to get past this.

Really, any help is greatly appreciated.

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to do this using
FP's UI, so you will need to get into the code a bit.

Open the page. Select code view. Change this -

</head>

to this -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
/* that's a colon after the first repeat and a semi-colon after the second
*/
-->
</style>
</head>

and you should be ready to go!
