Can someone give me a hand with this? In my browser the site looks fine.
when the client opens the site www.mindspamentor.com. on her wide screen, the
picture repeats itself, and everything elseis askew.
 
A couple of problems.
Your using word art which doesn't work in FireFox.
Your using absolute positioning which renders poorly in other browsers.

As for the background image tiling, you need to put the image and content in a centered table or div set to the width of
the image,
so that the content can not expand larger than the image width

Use CSS to control the tiling of the background element.

(it's the background-repeat:no-repeat; style)

Well, that's just wrong, although the final result may be what you describe.
There is nothing about absolute positioning that renders poorly in other
browsers.

Why would you not recommend CSS? This is too clunky a solution for words,
no?
 
In code view - place it between <style type="text/css"> and </style> in the
head of the page, or put it into your existing external stylesheet. But
before you go running off to do this, let's see your page, so we can
correctly identify the image and its container.

Use CSS to centre and set the width of the container. But the real
solution depends on the effect dk is trying to achieve. Both solutions
(Steve's and your's) stop the image tiling, but the page appearance
(with full screen browser on widescreen) will be different.
