How do convert a picture to a background without it
repeating itself as a bunch of multiple squares jined
together to fill up the page? I would rather have the
picture expand itself to one large image like I can do
with my desktop. Do I have to convert the image to a bmp
file?
Browsers don't have this capability. Sorry.
You might be able to achieve a similar effect by including
your picture as ordinary content, usign absolute
positioning to display it in the top left corner, using a
negative z-index to display it behind the normal page
content, and writing JavaScript to resize the picture on
page load or whevever the Web visitor resizes the window.
But I don't think you could get even that solution to work
with all browsers.
You know, background images aren't terribly popular any
more. Font sizes keep getting smaller, and the smaller the
font, the more interference from a background image.
